Gonz, I'm in the same boat as you. I like how the front of my car sits on H&R's but I'm not a fan of the rear gap and the pronounced rake.

A guy on the 997 Enthusiasts Facebook page also agreed and he said he had his indi shop notch his rear shocks to bring it level. I didn't follow up on that as I'd like the adjustment aspect of coil overs.

Interesting... I have Bilstein B8's on mine and the rears have adjustable perches. I tried to order a pair of new perches directly from them, so my buddy who's a machinist could produce me "hat" style ones. But they wouldn't sell them.

I just ordered the BC Racing coil over set and terrific deal with no shipping: $1250
Can't wait to get rid of the gap and rake - zero gap on tap.
Next will be the Work Meister S1 3P, black centers.
Just wish they didn't take so dang long :-/

Regretfully, my company is transferring me to OKC on 3/31/15. I used to live in Austin and loved it there. Move there from San Antonio, then back again. Before that 17 years in St. Paul, MN, and before that Tampa/Clearwater, FL. I love TX and especially Hill Country. I'm hoping to score another position down the road here and move back.

Installed BC Racing BR series on my 06 Carrera over the winter. Have 300 miles testing so far and they are outstanding! Ride quality is perfect for street and much improved over the OE shocks they replaced. No harshness. BC nailed the spring rates and valving for a great balance on street driven cars. Much less body roll and handling is night and day.
My OE shocks had blown out the bump stops but had yet to leak any fluid. Both compression and rebound were compromised somewhat from new.
