New Shoes

Searched for a clean set and finally found these off of Ebay. 20" Techarts in brand new condition. Next dilema, to lower or not to lower?

Car looks perfect as is with minimal wheel gap. I would just leave it alone. Spend the money on the DSC suspension module instead.

This is a weekend car and never been tracked. I'm not sure if I would benefit from the DSC module.

My thoughts exactly. Can anyone recommend a good shop that can do that in or around Los Angeles?

H and R

bought eibach initially, then sold them for fear they wouldn't be low enough ....I went with H and R, put springs only on a car that had 17k miles. Car feels better and looks infinitely better....I only notice at extremely high speeds(cornering) it seems a bit more unstable ....could be my imagination but do remember someone else saying same thing ......ride quality is just as good if not better than stock....it's a 997.2

Thanks for the input. I'll have to consider that.

Do you have a picture of the ride height? How many miles on them and if you dont mind me asking, why are you removing them?

Picture posted. I have 5K miles on them, were installed by previous owner so not sure the mileage under his ownership. Going with coilover to fit my driving style.
