Hi! I´m in Australia now for vacations and I saw a Gemballa dealer...
what do you think about their springs gor my 997 S?

 

If they are reasonably priced get them, I always though of Gemballa being very very expensive, how about H&R's PASM enabled springs ? I know that they are a tad stiffer than those of Eibachs.

 

Try to make sure you get some sort of coverage if you lower your car. There have been reports of blown PASM shocks with the lowering springs and the warranty claim refused. Lowering / changing spring rates supposedly can cause the PASM shocks to wear out very differently / quickly. If the vendor will guarantee the work and continued operation of PASM, that would be great. In one of the cases I read, the installer might have done something wrong, which made matters worse.

Today I went here in Australia to the Gemballa shop and they have 2 diferents tipes of spring...for cars with PASM and withou...
they cost U$S 500...very good price for me...

what do you think...I buy it?

and I saw too the Gemballa wheels in black with polish lips in 19...for U$S 8500......maybe I buy those too.....

 

Get the springs.

 

Ask the shop if they will warranty the suspension of the whole car once they put the springs on. If the balk, then I'd balk too. I've read about people lowring the car and then blowing out PASM and ending up eating the repair. Also, think about whether you will scrape...

If you have a guarantee on the suspension and don't have clearance problems, then still think twice

 

no one in their right mind would warranty that


i went w/ h&r, got them for $300, no problems in 6500mi, if down the line anything happens, just a reason to disable pasm and go for coil overs

you take a risk anytime you modify anything on a car.

i kept my springs, just in case i can put them back on and take it to the dealer


btw,
dont buy rims for $8500, thats ridiculous
