It was recommended for me to adjust the arms 31 mm wide on the front and 30 mm on the rears. That gave me a 2" drop on all fenders from the stock position. The truck was slammed! This was with my ride height toggle switch in the low position. I did drive it like this for a few miles but the ride was a bit bumpy and the wheels had a serious tow-in at the bottom which would eventually cause my tires to wear unevenly without an alignment. I then moved the toggle switch to the normal position and I got a 1" drop from factory and that seems to be almost perfect. The wheels dont have the tow in effect and the ride is more aggressive than stock but not bumpy at all. For the perfect look I'm gonna take it down maybe 1/2" all the way around and leave it there. An alignment would be smart but I'll see how the tire wear goes. Whats great about these arms is that you dont have to take the wheels off to install them or to adjust them. Just raise the truck via the toggle swith to Terrain Mode and you have all the access you need. The stock arms are a little tough to remove at first but once you do it once you'll do it with ease. The stock arms are built well and remove even easier than the stockers when you wanna adjust. Very nice package. Oh, I haven't measured how much of a drop each turn of the arm is but I'd gues that it would take two turns to get maybe a 1/2"... These arms are totally adjustable which gives you maximum flexibility to adjust however, whenever you like within minutes. I noticed on my truck that all four fenders didnt have the same gap between the wheel. They do now! Try that with an electronic module!

The flexibility of this setup is awesome. I now have a 3" gap between the wheel and tire on the fron fenders and a 3.5" gap on the rears which gives it a nice ride and nice looks... This is roughly 1.5 inches lower front and rear and I have a bit of tow-in so I'm getting an alignment today. Looks really nice though...

I just got back from the Alignment Shop. Itwas a good thing that I had the alignment done because the specs were waaaay off from what Porsche deems okay... My truck sits really nice now and drives better too!

Hey Turbo955, do you have a pic of that new piece installed? I mean...a pic where we can see that stuff installed under the car?
I want to learn more about it

Pyiu, yes the new arms just click on. There are two nipples attached to the truck and these arms just snap onto the nipples. It seems like a fragile setup but trust me, to snap the arms on takes quite a bit of force! Pilone, those pics are already posted on this thread...

Billet piece vs. Stock. Keep in mind that the longer you make the arm the lower the truck goes...
The link on the right side is a new one I guess, If I am right as you indicated the longer one lowers the car more, then I am really concerned it's strength around the threaded area, it looks much weaker than the stock one (on the left side in your pics), Just my 2 cent opinion.
On your pic of the car lowered, is that on loading level or normal level? i know you said low level but does that mean the lowest level while driving or while parked?
