I did not think the GT3RS wheels fit the late model Turbos.
Narrow body vs wide body fitment issue. The wheels really look good on the car.
GT3 is a Narrowbody, GT3RS is a widebody which is why it makes sense that they would fit the turbo assuming the offset is the same. Car looks fantastic though, that's for sure! Love to hear a sound clip.

In terms of the ride quality - many 6speeders have our springs and love them.
I feel that the ride quality is actually improved over the factory springs due to the
progressive rate design built into the spring.

We have them in stock if you would like to order a set.
so it's a spring compression, swap, and an alignment? No other parts/work needed? My TT is a daily driver so I'm pretty sensitive to fouling up the car's drivability.

Yes that's correct all you do is replace the springs and re-align, many customers also get the sway bars as they are a matched set but are not mandatory to install at the same time.

from what I'm hearing, I'd like to buy the springs alone IF installing the springs doesn't ruin the geometry of the factory sway bars. If so, can I buy shorter links or is swapping out both bars the only option?

This might be a conversation better suited for a phone. I have quite a few questions. I might try calling you guys later this week. Anyone specifically I should talk with?

No problems with any geometry of the factory sway bar as the ratio where the bar mounts to the upright is not affected by the lowered spring.

Feel free to ask for myself when you call.
