Techart springs which are made by Eibach 20's and rides so much better than stock!

Today I switched hr springs for eibach springs on Dianics 997tt car...for reference here car height differences were measured at each wheel...same car same tires same weight...just afew hours before and after...so we have....
Hr springs
Front left 65, 3cm
Front right 64, 9cm
Rear left 67, 3cm
Rear right 67, 5cm

Eibach
Front left 66cm
Front right 65, 7cm

Good info.

However assuming the eibach's are new, isn't it reasonable to assume they will settle over time and basically be the same height?

Well...I did had a ride in order to let eibach springs settle down to final height....so I suppose they wont get as low as hr....apart from this we do have another 997tt with eibach for around six months and still it sits a little higher than hr...especialy at front...ride quality is slightly better with eibach...perhaps due to greater piston travel of shocks...

Really helpful, but why did you switch to Eibach's?

I am a fanatic when it comes to lowwww look of my 997tt....I know I sacrifice ride quality but really love staring at my car from outside....if you wish I can arrange to swap springs for you...you just pay shipping...

Hi, does this mean the Eibach feels overall ***softer*** than H&R?

A better ride implies more body roll in corners (better ride=worse handling); is this the case here too? Thanks; just curious.
