Anyone has techart springs??

As stated above, I'm currently undecided to get either the techarts springs or the H&R for my C4S.
The shop that I deal with says that the H&R's not out yet eventhough its listed on the website..

my concern is that the lowering with the techart springs are so little (1.5cm) that it might not even make a difference, and furthermore, it is more expensive than the H&Rs..

anyone have any pic with techart springs or any info with H&R springs for C4S please post here.. thanks

love t/a stuff but dropped their springs into a Cayenne S and was unimpressed.Not enough drop for the rather large $$ spent.

using ur stock shock with much shorter springs will possibly blow the shocks in no time. have the TA springs in my Cayenne with 45k miles no problem so far. if u want to go really low on the Cayenne the only choice is OE air suspension. coilovers we have not done one yet.

here are few pics of the Techart springs drop. it's for C2 & ur car uses different springs. the black car is not lowered. the spring will settle down more after few hundred miles.

We made a 997C4S work with lowering springs but it's not really a good idea since you need to buy two different kits and use fronts from one and rears from another to make it "work". I would just wait for the official H&R springs for the 997C4S.
