The sport chrono electrically adjusts the coil-overs. If you replace the stock ones with Damptronics, the functionality is maintained. Just replacing springs has no effect on the functionality of the coil-overs. I opted for the Damptronics, which allowed me to lower the car by an adjustable amount, whereas springs are a fixed amount of lowering.

Yes, the Damptronics are made by Bilstein, so would expect them to be easily available in Germany. There are different models for each of the 911 models (C2S vs C4S vs TT etc.).

You can also replace the springs and everything will still work.
