Important
What to Know Before You Buy
PASM Compatibility
All kits in this guide require Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). The 992 was available with or without PASM; if your 911 has standard (non-PASM) suspension, these springs will not fit. Verify your car has PASM before purchasing.
Carrera vs Turbo
The 992 has different spring specifications for Carrera (base/S/4/4S) and Turbo. Kits are trim-specific — a Carrera spring will not fit a Turbo. Match the kit to your exact model and drivetrain (2WD vs 4WD).
Front Axle Lift
Many 992 models have optional front axle lift. The H&R Sport (28652-1) is designed for cars with PASM and may have specific fitment for front lift. Verify compatibility with your car's equipment.
Alignment & Ride Quality
The Eibach Pro-Kit (-0.9" F / -0.2" R) is the most conservative and maintains near-stock ride quality. H&R Sport (-1.2" F/R) is more aggressive. Always budget for a professional alignment after installation.
H&R Sport Springs
The H&R Sport (28652-1) delivers a 1.2" front and 1.2" rear drop on the 2020–2023 Porsche 911 Carrera S, 4S Coupe, and Cabrio with PASM. The square drop keeps the car level and provides a balanced, aggressive stance. The progressive spring rate maintains ride comfort while improving handling and reducing body roll.
H&R springs are cold-wound in Germany and carry a lifetime warranty. Fits Carrera S 2WD and Carrera 4S 4WD. PASM required. Some listings note compatibility with front axle lift — verify for your specific car.
Drop by Application
| Application | Front Drop | Rear Drop |
|---|---|---|
| 2020–2023 Porsche 911 Carrera S/4S Coupe/Cabrio w/ PASM | -1.2" | -1.2" |
Pros
- Best value for 992 Carrera
- Square drop (level stance)
- Made in Germany, lifetime warranty
- Fits S and 4S
Cons
- Requires PASM
- More aggressive than Eibach
Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs
The Eibach Pro-Kit (E10-72-018-01-22) delivers a 0.9" front and 0.2" rear drop on the 2019–2023 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0L Twin Turbo Coupe (992). It's the most conservative option in this guide — ideal for Carrera owners who want a subtle stance improvement without compromising the car's refined ride.
Eibach's million-mile warranty and 992-specific fitment make it the go-to for owners who prioritize daily comfort. The modest rear drop (-0.2") keeps the car nearly level. Fits Carrera base, S, 4, and 4S with the 3.0L engine. PASM compatibility may vary — verify your car's suspension.
Drop by Application
| Application | Front Drop | Rear Drop |
|---|---|---|
| 2019–2023 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0L Twin Turbo (992) | -0.9" | -0.2" |
Pros
- Most conservative drop — best ride quality
- 992 Carrera-specific fitment
- Made in Germany

The H&R Sport (28628-2) delivers a 1.2" front and 1.2" rear drop on the 2020–2021 Porsche 911 Turbo (992). It's the dedicated Turbo option in this guide — Carrera springs will not fit. The square drop keeps the car level and provides a balanced stance.
H&R springs are cold-wound in Germany and carry a lifetime warranty. Fits 2020–2021 911 Turbo. Verify PASM compatibility for your specific model year.
Drop by Application

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need PASM for these springs?
Yes. All kits in this guide require Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). If your 992 has standard (non-PASM) suspension, these springs will not fit. Verify your car's equipment before purchasing.
Will lowering springs void my factory warranty?
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer cannot void your entire warranty for installing aftermarket parts. However, if a warranty claim is directly related to the modification, the dealer can deny that specific claim.
Do lowering springs affect ride quality?
Yes. The Eibach Pro-Kit (-0.9" F / -0.2" R) maintains near-stock comfort. The H&R Sport (-1.2" F/R) is noticeably firmer. All kits use progressive springs for a balance of comfort and handling.
I have a 911 Turbo. Which kit fits?
The H&R Sport (28628-2) is the only dedicated 992 Turbo option in this guide. Carrera springs will not fit the Turbo. Fits 2020–2021 911 Turbo.
Should I get lowering springs or coilovers?
Lowering springs offer a set drop at lower cost ($352–$1,264 vs. $2,000+ for 911 coilovers). If you want adjustable ride height and damping, coilovers are the better choice. The H&R VTF bridges the gap with height adjustment but no damping control. Check our Suspension Buyers Guide for a full comparison.
I have front axle lift. Will these springs work?
Some kits may have different fitment for cars with front axle lift. The H&R Sport (28652-1) is designed for PASM; front lift compatibility may vary. Verify with the product listing or contact us before purchasing.
