    Does anyone have experience with lowering a 599 maybe 1 - 1.5"?

    Two lowering spring companies look good to me H & R and Hamann.
    Any comments or suggestions?
    Has it changed the ride of the car?

    Please PM to me. Thank you.

    I'm getting mine done now... just dialing down the existing coil overs a bit... not swapping out the springs as I don't want to have too much of a harsh ride. Will post pictures and thoughts of ride when she's done.

    have you thought about ordering the HGTE suspension kit? New springs, bushings and sway bars?

    I ended up doing the H&R set of springs, sway bars, etc... Will report back on how she ends up handling wise. Wasn't a complete fan of doing H&R but the Novitec one's are manufactured by Eibach so even a lesser standard IMHO and I didn't want to spring 30K for the HGTE configuration. So We'll see if this is a good option.

    Starting to come together :)

    I bought the HGTE kit and sway bar for mine. Uses "stock" parts and accomplishes what it's supposed to! Perfect! :)
