Thansk for the kind words Gents.

The wheels are OEM SDs but I had them powder coated to Matte Black. Here is that process/change

Btw, how would you guys compare H&R springs to Eibach? I believe Eibach manufactures the TechArt springs, I've been told they are identical but rebranded for TA.
TA are made by Eibach to TA specs. I have heard they are softer and only lowers the car 1" vice 1.25" for H&R which are a tad stiffer.

Looks great. I had the H&R sport springs on my Cayman S before I went with coil overs.
However the S has the same ride height as a Carrera, it is PASM that gives you the 10mm lower stance.

I am very curious to know what you paid for parts and install (unless you installed yourself?) The reason I ask is that when I purchased my pcar, it already had H&R coils installed and curious to know what the previous owner roughly might have paid.

I have heard others complain about H&R, but I love mine, even with sport or PASM active.

Just an FYI...there is a much better and consistent way to measure your drop...especially if you expect the springs to settle:
