I don't know what Ruf uses --- looks like H&R also (?)

Suggestion
Just to make sure: Are these Gemballa/Eibach springs a part of the coilover kit OR just the lowering springs one would use with stock dumpers?
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.

Saw a set of Gemballa Coil overs (apparently specially built by H&R) for a 996 C4 at my suspension shop when I put on my new Pirelli's. Looked really great with good workmanship but pricey.
Has anyone tried them?
Also in case you still have the Continental tires that came with your car, its worth the money to dump them! (significantly better handling for those that like to drive aggressively
996blue,
I have a TT, the suspension setup is pretty close to your C4. Gemballa coilovers are built by H&R --- confirmed by both H&R USA and Gemballa USA.
There were numerous discussions on the TT board and on also on Funcarsonline.com. It appears that Gemballa coilovers are pretty much the same as H&R coilovers which you can get at

Dayton,
As far as I know, FVD coilover kit for 996 AWD uses Eibach springs, "all others" i.e. Gemballa, Cargraphic, TechArt use H&R springs. I don't know what Ruf uses --- looks like H&R also (?)
Ah,
These spring guys bouce around over there. I have Gemballa springs in stock right now boxed in Eibach boxes. I guess its who has time to make them these days////
Cheers
Dayton
Dayton,
Thank you for the first-hand information. I have no stake in H&R
Just to make sure: Are these Gemballa/Eibach springs a part of the coilover kit OR just the lowering springs one would use with stock dumpers?
VS
Gemballa's coilover system is made and supplied by H&R. My guess is that, in typical fashion, the shocks are made by Bilstein and the springs by H&R. However, this doesn't mean that the individual Gemballa springs, sold to fit the stock factory shocks, aren't made by Eibach.
thanks all
this board is really active!
what was interesting about the Gemballa kit which was not mine (I have a 2000 C2 Cab), was the specially constructed strut seats (don't know the term) for the C4 that seemed custom aluminum. Also the springs were powder coated with Gemballa's name.
I want to keep my car stock "Porsche" and was wondering if anyone else had the same concerns (ie M030 vs H&R etc.)
Dropped over $25K on a Dinan BMW a while back and really did not recoup the investment when I sold the car.
"I want to keep my car stock "Porsche" and was wondering if anyone else had the same concerns (ie M030 vs H&R etc.)"
I thought about that and decided to say "screw it". Factory stuff is made by the same companies and this stuff is MUCH better than the stock M030. Will you get your money back on resale? That would be highly unlikely (M030 or H&R). Will the car be less desireable on resale? Most buyers who care would like it more and most that don't care, won't even know the diff. IOW, the status symbol, cruiser type won't even know and the enthusiast will appreciate it.
