springs for the cheap way (no offense intended) and coilovers for the right way. this beautiful car deserves proper coilovers. just my opinion. the bilstein's support porsche features like pasm and fal, and are also the makers of the factory coilover.

there's nothing wrong with saving money and since I'll never track this car just doing springs would be fine. Like I stated in the wheel thread just because I can afford one of these cars doesn't mean I want to throw money out of the window left and right.

This is a good idea which I tried for our 992 Targa - yet had to go Techart in the end however perhaps on a coupe is compatible.

You're choice is either TechArt or H&R springs for the savings. If you are looking for the lowest cost but still a great brand to use on your car, get the H&R springs.

If you would like a set, I can get one to you within a couple days.

Please feel free to reach out if you would like a set.

Techart non adjustable, (uses the stock dampers) 3 years plus no issues

Thanks, that looks good. It definitely took the wheel gap out, which is why I want to do it. Did you notice a difference in ride and comfort? Like no bouncing over small bump in the road.

This car the install was done by World Motorsports, much less "bounce" than stock, slightly sfiffer ride than stock, what will make it perfect is when DSC finally comes out with the contraller for the 992's, made a wolrd of difference in my 991's, hellcats and corvette's,

The EVO’s should be sub-$4k from @Meraki Autoworks . That’s where I sourced my set. It’s worth it to purchase a full coilover system, especially one that integrates with factory electronics.
