Lowering via springs
I have searched around but couldn't find any really good info on this. Does anyone make a good set of springs that will lower my car a little but not make the ride too jarring?
I currently have stock USA spec springs. Would the OEM Euro spec work for me?
In an ideal world I would love to fit a magnetically adjustable suspension system to my car like the 991 has but it seems no aftermarket systems are available.

I would NOT do springs only. Waste of time and it isn't going to help the handling. You are going to get "bounce" in your ride. I would go with a proper setup. What is your budget?
I have a full JRZ suspension on my car now and its amazing and I have never ran anything other then a full coilover setup and or a proper spring and shock setup on my other cars.
I wouldn't skimp on the suspension. To me its the most important part of this car.

Budget is not really an issue. Ride quality is the most important.
As I wrote if someone made an after market magnetically adjustable system it would be on my car tomorrow. I would like to lower the ride height but not have my teeth rattle going over bumps. I live in the mountains of northwest NJ. The roads suck.

Why not do a spring and strut combo? Pay close attention to the spring rates of your stock springs vs the spring rates of the springs you are looking at. Maybe a variable spring rate is good for you?

No, I am in northern NJ horse country in the foothills of the Ramapos. The Jackson Whites stay on their side of the mountains and I stay on mine.
