Only a few kind of cars can pull off that color and look hot. Looks great.

Dumb question but do those sport springs work with the sports mode button / Pasm or once you put on it's same setting always?

Yes the PASM remains will functional and the springs are designed to take full advantage of the Sport mode- the factory spring is a linear rate spring and the GMG WC spring is a progressive rate spring which gives you the comfort around town and when you load the spring up in a corner the rate goes up as the spring compresses.

What wheels are those? Are they standard or special order?
They look different than the RS Spyder wheels shown on Porsche's spec for the car.

They are definitely not the "RS Spyder" centerlock wheels that come standard with the Turbo S... they're some other Porsche centerlock wheel, not sure what these are called, though.

EDIT: Okay, some Google imaging has revealed that these are GT3 centerlock wheels, painted black.

They look like the GT2 RS wheels. That is a gorgeous car. For some reason, I have a soft spot for orange and greens that first appeared in the 70's.

The wheels are OEM GT3RS wheels. Visited the dealer's website that has the car for sale.
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.

Re: 997.1 How well do I maintain factory ride with these springs?

Yes the wheels are GT3RS wheels- no issues with fitment as both cars are wide body.



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.
