H&R springs questions....

I just put a set of 19" HREs on my 996TT. It now looks like the front has more wheel gap than the back. My question is do the H&R springs lower the car evenly to where the gaps are the same front and back? I really don't want to spend the money on coil overs right now. This uneven look is driving me crazy though. Also can I get your opinions on how you like the springs overall. I'm hoping that lowering it won't change the ride to much. Any comments welcome. Thanks.

it will lower about 1,25". Do a search, someone asked the same question not long ago and lots of good answers.

It will lower evenly: 1" Front and 1" Rear, same as TechArt. 1.25" is for the Carrera 2 and 2S

It's a shame you don't want coilovers, that is really the only way to customize heights.

Also, I don't believe Eibach makes a spring for the Turbo.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

You can install only the front springs, and you will see your car as you wish!!!
About balance, if you do not use it on the track, you will not feel it unbalanced.

H&R wheel spacers are very easy, affordable and reliable.

Porsche actually specifies wheel spacers on some of their wheel/car fitments from the factory.
