Springs & Wheels Installed
The mild modding has begun…already had a miltek exhaust but that’s been it for a while.
<O
</O
Finally needed a new set of tires so I decided to update the wheels too. Could’ve gone many different directions with my setup but decided on OEM turbo II wheels with PS2s. I know…why spend that much and not go with something else? I really like the turbo II wheel, wanted to stay 19” and I don’t see very many cars with this design.
<O</O
In addition, I wanted to change the stance and improve handling without too much compromise in ride quality, so I had TechArt (Eibach) springs installed.
<O</O
I’ve only driven about 75 miles with the setup but I can tell you I’m very pleased with the results. The look and feel is great. I was concerned the ride would be noticeably rougher but it’s not. There are no strange noises and the PASM is fully functional.
<O</O
Let me know what you think…

Thanks!

Me too! Excellent and perfect set up! Did you get those parts from a forum vendor?

Thanks...got the wheels/tires from another forum member who had a brand new set and ordered the springs from Alex @ Sharkwerks.

Rep Power: 44 Thanks...it's arctic silver. Love the way it shines in the sun and it really works for those (like me) who are way to crazy about dust, dirt and all the other things that happen...

perfection! Good choice of wheels, congrats your 997TT looks amazing! Springs were also chosen wisely, as the work well with PASM. And to top it all Milltek exhaust, I have not listen to one on a 997TT but onthe 996TT is perhaps the best sounding exhaust with superb quality of build.
Enjoy this amazing build!
