I've fitted B8s with the new H&R springs.

Also in the past I've fitted lowered springs which were taller when not compressed like those in the pic.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've taken the coil springs off my 996 turbo, they seem to be shorter than the HR springs I'm fitting. Shocks look standard and are longer than the B8s I'm putting on. Anyone know if these are shortened springs?

POST 2Original post

They look like std springs to me, mine have coloured dots like that. Also in the past I've fitted lowered springs which were taller when not compressed like those in the pic. It wasn't a Porsche but they did lower the car. They look like progressive springs to me. How they work is they've got more coils than std which keep the ride supple in gentle driving but some of the coils are close together and as soon as you load them up eg by braking or cornering the close coils go coil bound and then you have less coils than than std which has the effect of making the spring a higher rate. It also has the effect of keeping the springs tight against their seats when the suspension is fully drooped eg when you jack the car up or go over a hump back bridge Springs work the opposite way to how I thought. Less coils actually gives a higher spring rate! Have you fitted them yet, did they lower the car? Mac

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've got one side fitted and as far as I can tell, the ride height is exactly the same. They look standard from what I can find out, so they'll go in the bin. I've fitted B8s with the new H&R springs.
