Lowering Springs

Hi Everyone, I have a 2008 997tt. I changed the rims and put 360 Forged 20 x 9 in the front and 20 x 12.5 in the rear. The rear tires are a 325x25x20. Any idea if I can safely lower the car with this set up and or what recommended springs?

go with GMG or TPC springs. i believe both are made by eibach, but with custom spring rates. you will be safe with any spring you decide to go with, as it only lowers the car around 15-20mm. it will look great !

where are the pics ?

Hi i have the h&r springs on my car with similar setup. My rear wheels are 20x13 with 345 tires. Nothing rubs or touches and the ride is awesome! Best part is that it looks amazing!

As long as you don't have some crazy aggressive offset you should be fine. Mine are 48mm F and 44mm R.

GMGs work for me. If you want handling go go with the looks consider the sways and drop links too. Cheers

I have the Eibachs and I love them. The daily ride has improved and they worked great on the track. Pretty impressive.
