Hello 6speedonline 997 Turbo owners,

Today I am seeking your advice on lowering springs, a buddy of mine has a 2008 911 Turbo and has just installed some 19" Antera Wheels and it looks normal as the height of the car instock form is killing its killer stance from the wider rear wheels. The problem is that the car in stock form usually scrapes the front plastic front valance when exiting and entering his garage and I think that issue can be resolved by parking to the far right where their slope is better in his garage; however with the new springs will that be a drawback for speed bumps and the garage?

Which suspension or let say springs are great, are reasonably priced and dramatically improves the cars image. We've been eying on the Techart White springs and the H&R's, since the Techarts are more expensive are they worth the difference and which one's have the lowest drop. The car is a daily driver most of the time, sticking to the slightest drop is better as it clears bumps and other limitations a person has to face in a day to day basis.

Thank you in advance,

 

If you absolutely have to go with springs then I would suggest going with the GMG solution since those seems to be the best aside from full coilovers.

 

Techart will only lower 3/4 in.

 

Ive tons tons of research, frankly springs are not going to cut it for a long term suspension solution. get the damptronics and lower to your desired height and be done with it.

even stock cars scrap the front lip, I'd consider this a replaceable part and just deal with it, at least its not expensive!

 

Techart is a moderate drop, slightly less than 1".

 

So right now Techart is kept on the margin, its between GMG and the Damptronics which I assume is a full coilover setup.

 

Damptronics is as you surmised, a full coilover system. Best way to do it, IMHO.

 

Do it once and do it right, a full Coil-Over setup is the way to go to properly lower the car. Add functionality as well.

 

Agreed. Coilovers are the single best option.

 

Any reason why Damptronics over Techart coil-overs?

 

Techart uses the Bilstein Damptronics but with different valve settings and it costs a LOT more $$$. FVD also uses Bilstein Damptronics too and is about halfway between the Techarts and the Bilstein Damptronics.

 

Thanks! Great info.

 

Will the Damptronics work with PASM or does that need to shut off. I believe the Techart model is PASM compatible.

 

Techart, FVD and Bilstein "damptronics" are all PASM compatible.

 

I have the techart spring and the car rides awesome.I also did the sway bars,dog bone,tracktion arms the car handles like its on rails.
