It looks like the ride height is correct, and I have measured it to be as specified at I think 110mm from the bottom of the control arms.
I feel that a shorter/lower set of springs will do the trick to eliminate that feeling, and add some much needed stability. First off, where do I source the springs that will retain the ride, but aid in solving the unstable feeling condition of the float.

Any thoughts that you can share with me ?

H&Rs are too firm for my taste, although they do drop slightly lower at about 1.25". Yes, if you install lowering springs, you will need an alignment post install.

This looks great. I've been looking all over for examples of a black 997.2 on Fuchs. Love that color. Can you tell me more about your wheels?

I have my 997.2 C4S on H&R lowering springs and measured that it dropped a full inch all around. My PASM died so I replaced with the DSC module, but it clearly needs to be customized to better fit my preferences, so that's my next project.

Any chance you could measure fender lip bottom to the ground? Just wanting to see where they sit vs my coilover settings… thx

Exactly that yes…

When you say "fender lip bottom" are you talking about top center of the wheel well to the ground or another point?
