Lowering a TT Cab - Thoughts? Suggestions?

I am considering lowering my TT Cab. I have read about the PSS9 coilovers, X73, ROW M030, etc, and others but will Not track the car and do not want much of a change in ride quality.

The Cab is a bit "floaty" IMO in the corners at high speed and I would like to tame that as well as get some of the asthetics that a lowered car provides (appx 10-15mm lower)

I have an opportunity to put in Porsche Euro progressive springs (but NOT the shocks or sway bars) I understand that changing out the shocks is not necessary because the Euro springs are progressive and do not exceed the shock travel (or something like that) .

I know the TT Cab comes with the same suspension set up as the coupe (spring rate, shock rate, etc.) and am concerned that the harshness of some suspension set ups will be exacerbated by the extra weight.

Any thoughts on just the spring change out?

Thanks.

If you want a little lower ride, better handling, and not much change in ride quality, I'd get ROW.

Dont change just the springs. They arent matched properly. If you are going to go RoW, do the whole kit.

My suggestion for what you are looking for would be the X73.

PSS9's definately. You will injoy the ride and mostly the adjustability of height and firmness
