I have a C4S Cab that I am going to lower. Arling at lucent will be doing my work. I need to decide between Techart and H&R. Most of what I see on this forum is H&R. I'm not sure why that is because Techart also makes a great product. Am I missing something? Where are the Techart pictures? I want to see how it will look with 19's. I want to make sure I close the wheel/fender gap front and rear.

 

I have TechArt springs, and have been very happy with them. The ride and handling are great (I think the ride is actually better now in Sport mode than before), and for me the drop is perfect for a 997.

The pictures below are with my 20" rims, but the gap is the same with my 18s and 19s too, as they all have the same Outisde Diameter. I highly recommend the TechArts.

Thanks Mexico Blue. I have always enjoyed looking at your car and I probably couldn't find a better example of ride height than what I see with your blue beauty. Thanks for sharing!

 

those pics wouldnt be in off topic, try the appropriate forum to the car you own for the correct pics

 

how is it that lowering springs on stock shocks don't make your cars handle and ride like crap? i notice that this is a trend with 997 owners. no one is doing the full suspension.

are there no options available? with lowering springs and stock shocks, you're using all the available suspension travel when just sitting still.

i tried it on my 996 for a while. it was nice at first, then went to hell. wore out the shocks very very quickly and the handling became very unpredictable.

why not just do some bilsteins?

 

i went to vivid. there are options. so why do just springs on a 100K car?

DJ - what do you mean by off topic? I don't believe I searched there? I searched in the 997 forum. Thanks.

 

not yet, with cars have PASM.

 

what happens when you swap the suspension on a car with pasm? does the computer go nuts?

won't you run into the same problems with doing just springs on a pasm car vs the non pasm cars (ie overcompression of the stock shocks)?

 

Here are Techart springs on a C4
Sorry for the Crappy pics. Better ones are coming.

 

ive posted my pictures plenty of times but here it is again.
lucent (arling) did the techarts on my friends C4S cab and I think it ends up lower since it is heavier.

 

Lucent did my C4S cab with Techart springs. Arling suggested I use those and it has been great. Rides the same but looks much better!

 

Thanks guys for the photo's and comments! I agree that Techart has done a great job with the lowering specs. Just right! I just need to get scheduled with Arling and get it done.

 

Actually I think there is.

I found this link through another forum. I do not know the availability or the price for it. the poster mentioned that there is one person with this setup. I am not sure about whether I am allowed to post a link to the thread on the other forum. If it is not a problem I will.

 

the product is known but it's not available yet.
