I'm running HR springs. All it is good for is looks, that is it. If you are expecting better performance forget it. The stock shocks are way too under-damped. Well, if you are just cruising the strip on weekends and going too / from work they are totaly fine. If you are a performance-oriented driver you'll be quite unhappy.

Only reason I put them on for now is the cost was practically free. A good set of CO's will transform your pcar into a handling beast. You don't realize how much handling performance is left on the table by Porsche until you put on a good set of CO's. Of course I prefer KWv3's, and the PSS10's for PASM cars if you want to retain the push-button fun. #1 best mod you can do to improve your pcar's fun-factor, and don't spare the expense on this particular mod. End of story.

Kurt!!! Every time I think I'm ready to go the cheap route and buy springs you pop up and convince me otherwise. I'm torn again.

LOL- Sorry man, just doing my part to help stimulate the economy

Seriously though, there are a lot of mods that you can go "cheap" on, suspension upgrade is not one of them. If you plan to really drive the pcar like it was meant to be driven, good CO's are the only way to go and you'll never regret spending the exta coin. The payback in added driving enjoyment is tops.

If it is mostly work > home > work driving, weekend boulevard cruising and your car will never see any serious driving, then springs only are just fine.
JMHO..
