Not sure if this information will help you out or not, but with Bilstein PSS10's your range of lowering is 15mm-35mm in the front, and 0-20mm in the rear.....in relation to stock 996 Turbo height.

hope this helps!

Yup, set ride height first, align second.
I actually weighted the drivers seat when I set mine...

When I had my PSS10's I had the fronts almost completely lowered and rears had pleanty of room still. I think it is part of the design. Bilstein customer service actually is pretty good. Warrentied my rears when adjusters stopped working.

Hi,
Just had PSS10 installed, ride height not adj yet.
I'm measuring 25, 3/4 rear & 25, 1/2 front
(edit)
Also hearing the clunk especially on dirt roads.
--Ross

Edit: Clunk fixed today, drop link became loose. When I checked with wheel off it may have had weight on it so I missed it, checking it with wheel on it was rattling.

use the provided bushing not the stocker. The stocker is thicker and not designed for the pss10. I have the pss10's I have them halfway setting and I am at 25.5 inches in front as well and I am halfway through my setting, so I can go about 13mm lower. However, I am running Nitto INVO's which measure 26 inches in diameter. So I sit higher than the average car with these tires by almost half an inch.

I like the height of your car. Saw your car in front of Rector when I brought my Lapis blue tt in for service today.
