GMG springs or other lowering springs
GMG is back ordered 6 to 8 weeks, I have my first DE in 4 weeks, new wheels within 3 weeks. I have the sway bars in the box ready to install with springs.
Any recommendations on other lowering springs? |
They have been on back order for a while.... I ended up with TechArt.
|
Too funny, I just bought Techart. How do you like them?
|
How much are the techarts guys?
I am sold on H&R will be measuring Skands car tomorrow on clearance at my office ramp, and will also measure ground clearance to compare with some measurements I found here searching last night... Anyone with experience from the techarts? How stiff is the question? I know softer than GMG and stiffer than H&R seems to be the verdict. I guess we shall see soon enough. |

H&R are the perfect drop.

To the best of my knowledge, H&R, Techart, and GMG lowering springs all lower the car 1 inch/24mm.
Dianic is correct, unconfirmed rumor is that H&R is softest, Techart is next, and GMG is stiffest. Search this forum to see where this rumor comes from (I think it's decently reliable. Grin). I am really amazed that no Porsche shop has put one of these springs into a spring rate testing press and got some numbers for us amateurs. Are these machines that rare (real question - I am not a pro)? |

Are the Techarts made by H&R? If they are stiffer then presumably they aren't just a rebadge? |
I have no reference they are made by H&R, they look different and they cost nearly double what you can get H&Rs for. So My guess is they are not, just a guess. Maybe somebody from Sharkwerks can jump in?

Found this good link describing them
http://www.neuralblog.com/_content/P...-705_pn-1.html TechArts are made by Eibach along with GMG |
Typically springs will be made by one or two companies and 5 or 6 will private label the exact same thing and not report spring rates at all calling them 'proprietary'. All I know is I am happy with over 30,000m on my GMG springs.
|
Eibach makes techart and GMG different spec of course, and they make their own brand as well.
H&R makes Champion, at slightly higher spring rate than theirs. H&R's spring rate is lower than factory, but a progressive spring (harder as it compresses). |
