Putting engine worries aside, I have wanted to address my cars ride height for a while now as the arch gaps are HUGE :lol:
My car has Factory PASM so should be 10mm lower than standard, but it doesnt look it... anyways coilovers are out for me as the PASM compatible ones are silly money, so springs it is.
Reading up seems to throw 4 options:
H&R
Eibach
Techart (Made by Eibach but to Techarts spec)
Vogtland
Vogtland are just rubbish VAG nonsense IMO :wink:
I've had H&R springs before on my Intergrale, and they were too low and too hard. Reports seem to say this is also the case on a 997 so they are out too..
Techarts seem to get good press, but they are pricey
I have always had good results with Eibach, so I started investigating them.
The 'Pro sport' kit has the part number E10-72-007-01-22, and should be compatible with PASM cars, although Design 911 says it isnt....
They have them listed on their site, and once you take off the 5% 911uk discount they end up at £343 delivered...
Further investigation of the Eibach brochure shows that the springs used in the 'Pro' kit are:
Front 117200701VA
Rear 117200701HA
And it turns out you can order them separately, at a considerable saving... So via Autodoc I got the 4 springs from the kit for £166 delivered - over half the price of Design911!
so IO ordered and they duly arrived in a parcel big enough to make even Amazon blush... if the weather isnt too arctic this weekend they may go on...
