  • Made the switch from air-cooled back to water!! Follow along on my journey as I sell my air-cooled Porsche 911 in order to purchase a new water-cooled 911 for my take on a performance build. The fourth episode of my series takes you along for the Techart lowering spring install process for the 991 and the before / after of the results!

    Andrew. As I type this I’m getting H&R lowering springs installed on my 997.1 turbo! I’m very much against wheel gap. Congrats on getting this done.

    Just put some custom wheels on my 991 and I noticed right away that the car needs to go down a bit. Was thinking of the Tech Art springs, and this pretty much convinced me. Thanks!

    Looks good. I'll likely go with Eibach.

      EIBACH makes TechArt Springs just not as compressed giving TechArt a smoother ride and not so aggressively low, relatively.

    I have the same car. Can I just buy springs and lower it or is there a issue with pasm? Love the videos they have been inspirational 👍🏻

      Thank you! I really appreciate you watching the channel. You can just buy the springs and lower it. No issues with PASM that I found.

    Looks great do you have PPF on that protect that shiny paint job I have it on mine and I love it a self healing kind it’s clear as a bell you can’t even hardly tell it’s on there

    • @nineelevensouth
      @nineelevensouth  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not yet. The front needs to be repainted. Previous owner had a lot of rock chips. Once I do that, PPF will go on.

    Andrew, what are your thoughts on pairing H & R lowering springs with Bilstein B6 shocks?

    • @nineelevensouth
      @nineelevensouth  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That would be a good combo I think. The H&R springs are a little more aggressive in terms of lowering the car more. But, they also ride a little more harsh and stiff.

      @@nineelevensouth thank you. I was thinking that I’d made a mistake by not going with the Bilstein B8’s, which seem to be specifically for pairing with lowering springs.

      @@mattlamarsh Quite well, I think. Coming from the 993 that was lowered to RS height, I already have a tolerance for a harsh ride. This is MUCH better but still firm. That said, once I add the DSC controller is should be buttery smooth in the City and responsive, tight, and dynamic in the Mountains.
