AGREED... Since I'm a few years smarter since last reading this lol, I took a second read and wow.

I have although been in 2 turbo's (mine and a friends) both were LOW gt2 height or lower and felt terrible over bumps and with dampening (H+R on mine and PSS9 on a friends)

I know pss9's + 19inch wheels cannot be at gt2 height. At the lowest setting the front is still in the air. Perhaps with 18inch wheels you can get your gt2 "look".

I think the wheels are a part of it... I also think that it truly depends on the setup. My car "looks" like it's low, but I am not bottoming out on the stops. I have approx. 1/2 inch of stroke left in the shock piston before hitting the stops at max compression.

Matt, I'm with you on the Moton thing... The only reasons I'm using my PSS9s is that they came on the car, and right now I'm working other issues financially and don't want to dump another $5K in shocks. If I was starting with a bone stock TT, I'd be going with JRZs or Motons, but I bought the car with this setup on it already. So I'm making it work for now...

That said, I think it truly boils down to setting the car up properly. Getting that extra 1/2 inch of drop might be the difference. But you have to work within the limitations of the shock or you end up ruining the job the shock is trying to do for you.

Just wanted to link my other thread to this one to show that the PSS9s in lower than GT2 ride height aren't an issue, at least on my car... Those pics show it in true "action" on a very bumpy Summit Point Main circuit August 15-17, 2008.

Zero rubbing, and those "street tires" are larger diameter than my MPSCs that I normally run...

I installed PSS9's a year ago. Had the car lowered 1 1/2 inches, as my tech said that was the safe limit, and have had no problems on the street or track.

And I saw Larry's car at the last event and other than the camber settings, his sit's about as low as mine... Very Close.
