H&R springs installed

Greetings all! Was able to pick up some H&R springs at a great price and had them installed at WTC Motorsports in Mission Viejo, CA. Shop is owned and operated by Chris Sterling who has a great reputation in the west coast porsche scene. Also had an alignment performed and the Gundo hack. Love the new ride height and markedly improved sound behind me. The low pitched burble on a down shift has me smiling ear to ear. Enjoyed speaking to Chris about several of his projects. This place is a class act... Recommended!

Before drop



After drop



Two of Chris' projects at the shop

Is the drop and spring rate similar to the Eibach Sport kit? I'm most interested in stiffer springs and reduced body roll, the drop is just an added benefit for me but it's hard to identify the differences in the two. No cars and coffee near me to see first hand. Interested in your experiences.

I had Eibachs on my first BMW but not on my 911 so I can't really give you an informed opinion. There are however numerous posts comparing the Eibachs and H&Rs so I suggest you search and you can read up on that. I knew though that I wanted to go lower than what Eibach advertises so I went H&R which I got a killer deal on at $200 (shipped) new.


As for ride, I'm typically running in sport mode when I push the car. Ride is stiff and to me feels a little stiffer than stock. Definitely less body roll. In my opinion, the springs make a nice improvement in ride and a huge difference in appearance.

I'm reading various posts now. Can you share the vendor information? Send me an IM if preferred.

I'd call and ask. I was quoted a price for spring install and alignment.
