New H&R Springs Installed!

I finally got my H&R springs installed by my shop in Tampa. All I can say is "Wow!" I wasn't really sure if I would like them but after the drive home last night it feels much better. The H&Rs seem to control the struts better then the stock springs (Carrera S Sport Chrono). I did one DE with the suspension completely stock and it did have a little more roll then I would like and some lag on steadying the car in corner changes. I think that these springs should solve that little issue. The car is a little lower so if anyone is worried that the car will be dragging the ground, no worries.

Did this include a new alignment? If so, were they able to bring the suspension back into specs with the new springs?

My alignment specs are more for the road course. It goes to the alignment shop tomorrow. My car also has the GT3 LCAs so I run -2.5 camber in the front and -2 in the rear with the appropriate toe specs.

Taking my H&R springs off!

Don't like them at all on my 2006 997 C2, mismatch with OEM shocks/struts (non-pasm).

Ordered Bilstein PSS9's.

FS if anyone wants them. PM me. 4 weeks old, maybe 200 miles.

These were for PASM optioned cars.

No. My car already has after marker wheels with different offsets that positions the wheels a little closer to the fender then stock.
