Selling my H&R lowering springs for Porsche 997 C4S or C4. I know they will fit those for sure, not sure about any of the other models. My car is an ‘08

I had these installed on my car; absolutely love the look of the car, but the 1.25 inch drop was too much for me, couldn’t get into my driveway without scratching my Ruf front bumper. I wish I had a lower valance, and I would have kept them, it made me cringe every time I scrapped the bottom of that not-so-cheap front bumper. Took them off within the same week of installing them.

I know a lot of people love them, and this is the biggest complaint I’ve heard of; scraping. Some don’t have as steep of drive as I do, and most have a lower spoiler (ex. the turbo). Ride was nice and soft, with a bit tighter feel for better response.

H&R Sport Springs Porsche 997 C4 & C4S 06+

Every spring produced by H&R comes from the H&R ISO 9001 certified engineering and manufacturing facility in Germany. All H&R springs are produced from a special 54SiCr6 spring steel, which has strength rated at 290,000 psi resulting in unrivaled tensile strength and resiliency.

At H&R product design and development is of the highest importance. All H&R springs are "cold" wound on specially designed CNC machinery and then time-tempered to re-align the molecular structure of the steel to ensure quality and durability.

All springs are shot-peened to increase the service life of each spring by more than 200%. Each spring is then sent through the H&R exclusive "SuperBlok" system, which cycles each spring to ensure that sagging will never occur. Lastly, the H&R special powder coating process coats each spring with a flexible and durable finish that is highly resistant to corrosion, chips, and scratches. At H&R we care about quality - the whole production process, from start to finish, is done in-house to ensure the most consistent, highest quality product possible.

H&R Sport Springs offer the handling characteristics and aggressive appearance that you’ve been looking for, without the harsh ride characteristics of less-advanced spring systems. H&R Sport Springs feature more control and are engineered for the street, making them comfortable and fun to drive. H&R Sport Springs are crafted from a special 54SiCr6 spring steel to ensure quality and performance.

Features:
Superb ride quality
Lowers Front: 1.2"
Lowers Rear: 1.2"

$199 plus $30 shipping anywhere in the lower 48 US = $229 to you

will they fit a 997 S narrow body? Did you do the install yourself? If so, what was involved?

Love the look.
