Pics H&R Springs + GT2 CF Addon

Some updated pics of my car. Recently installed H&R springs and CF GT2 addon wing. My alignment shop was able to get within stock camber/toe except for 1 wheel which had -1.78 deg. So pretty happy about that.

Looks great. I have the same combo of parts with H&R and gt2 wing.

I dont think my alignment is right though. I dont have the specifications, but the car dances pretty hard when it hits the grooves in the road now. I've had two shops look at it, one an alignment shop who admitted they didn't have the time to get it right and then a porsche only shop that said they used gt2 specs.

I currently have 18inch wheels. From what I have read larger size wheels/tires make it more diffcult to get a good alignment without additional suspension parts.

Great looking stance with the H&R lowering springs. I have a set that I would like to sell if anyone is interested. I will be posting them in the classified section soon.

All, Thanks for the compliments! I think I am done with cosmetic for now.

Special thanks to jspporsche for the springs.

H&R Springs

Love the look. Is your car midnight blue like mine? Questions. 1) What is the H&R part number and price 2) How much for the labor or how many hours to install? That is the one thing I need for my car as the stock height is too high!

Yes, car is midnight blue.

1) part# 29385 , ~$200 for a used set or ~$300 for new
2) 4-6 hrs for labor at$100/hr. Mine was done in 4 hrs. +$150 for alignment

Definitely a great upgrade to improve the look of your car

hey nola- had the same problem with H&R springs a while ago. even with proper alignment the car would dance a bit. problem was solved instantly with some coilovers.
