This will give more exact measurements since tire inflation is removed from the equation.

Please post results.

Best to measure from bottom of fender to wheel center, that way you remove wheel size from the equation as well.

The C2 with no pasm has a pretty stiff stock suspension as is, did the new springs make it have an even stiffer ride? There has to be some change to ride quality?

Please let me know as I am trying to choose between Eibach and Techart.

wow how many times are you going to ask that question? You've even called Eibach to ask them. Bringing up 3 different eibach threads to ask what has been answered many times before? If you search you will find that because the eibachs have a progressive rate, then ride quality doesn't really firm up. The H&R being lower and not progressive are definitely firmer.

I've had H&R springs on all three 997's I've owned. The H&R's are even lower than Eibach/Techart and I honestly can't tell much difference if any from stock. Btw....Eibach and Techart are the same springs. Just different labels.
