Pics request of 997 c2s lowered on h&r with spacers on lobster forks
The drop links were loose panzy tech didn't tighten them I guess but 500miles now on my H&R's and no problems drives just as good as my stock suspension. Only issue is the rubbing of the front lip due to having the GT front bumper. Waiting to do spacers haven't had the time but I believe spacers is a must!
Update. I changed my front spacers from 5mm to 15mm to match the rears and it's perfection. The car remains lowered on H&R springs and it's been an absolute delight.

Yes. There's no rubbing or hitting fenders. 15mm on 4 corners is perfect.
Agreed... 15mm on rear and 12mm on front for me now... previously had 7mm and the 12s look better... no rubbing or issues. 12,000 miles driven since I lowered onto TechArt's and no regrets. Love the look and the ride is like stock.
i run 15mm fronts and it looks fine to me. to my friends that feel little nervous i say run 12s on the fronts. both look great - 7mm is definitely way too mild.

I'm curious on specs. I think perfection is 15m on all 4 corners and at a minimum dropped on H&R springs. I'm going back to c/o soon to get the squared look.

- Eibach Pro Kit
- RSS Spacers 5mm Front and 15mm Back
Just recently had Eibach springs and 15mm front and rear spacers on my 997 cab with Lobster Claws. Also had the alignment redone. Absolutely love the way she looks now. Sits just right.
Also very suprised in the lack of ride quality difference with the Eibach vs the original springs (car is a very low km's car, has ~50,000kms).
The handling has also changed significantly for the better, IMO. I think the cabriolet's sit very high in the back with very soft suspension there. So there's lots of weight shift to the rear, which ended up feeling like very unpredictable understeer/oversteer moments.
My fiancee and I run our Boxster in our local Porsche Club motorkhana's normally, and tried the 911 for a training round when it was stock...found it very difficult to predict. I've since had the car out in the wet and it's much easier to predict/promote oversteer now.
Really love the way it sits now. Should've come like this from factory.
and a phone pic from the rear angle
