GMG springs and sways installed

well i finally had my GMG sways and springs installed on my 997 TT

i was told that they are an amazing improvement over stock, and i must say that it rides like a different car

no floating up and down on the highway, decreases nose dive, feels tighter in turns

i just love it, it feels like a new car

That is the best setup for the turbo imo. In fact, I'm in the process of going back to that setup now, it was THAT good on the track.

Gents thanks for all the feed back.. We worked long and hard with Eibach to develop the spring and sway bar combination....

Thanks again for all the continued support...

Would love to do this on my '09 Turbo Cab, but wonder how much worse I'll scrape on the front end and if I'd need the lift kit to go with it.

How much lower than stock is the car sitting now?
