A quick question for all. For the 997 C2 what is the H&R 15mm lowering springs like? Does the car sit nice or is it uneven. I.e. the rear sits higher then front?

Cheers

H&R -15mm on mine, initially -25mm but too low and the front wheels were tucked under the wheel arch, not the look I wanted.
-15 mm look great, the wheel archer liner where it protrudes in the front will catch on a slightly raised manhole cover mind you, consider them replaceable items.
Got mine from Germany via E Bay.

Phil, what you mean about slight rake? The rear being higher? Also is it worth the purchase? Are they good springs phil?

Hi Frenchmeister, any pictures of your car with the H&R springs to see what you mean with the front wheel etc?

J, at 80quid buy them, the very slight rake (raised rear) is good as it is supposed to help with load displacement on pull away and braking , thats the simplistic answer, theres much more in depth answers if you google it . When I got my car it was fitted with them by Brookspeed who build the car up and they race cup cars etc so know their stuff . I had techarts on my gen1 and had thought if the H&R were not as good I would replace them but 13 months into ownership of the gen2 and quite happy so will be sticking with them :thumb:
 
I've got H&Rs and the car sits well (flat and even) but it's not stanced. 8)
