Lowering my car (help)

I need to lower my car a little bit (cosmetics, no track duty). I almost went with PSS9 today, but before I do, I would like to see some pictures of 996T with PSS9, lowered 1" and still on OEM wheels. Anyone ?
My initial thoughs were to drop it 1/2" only. But if 1" looks good, I'm sold.

This is mine on PPS10

















Front and Rear top of lips to ground are 25.5 inches. Rear fender lips have been rolled. At this height with 235x35x19f and 315x25x19r you should plan on needing adjustable upper rear control arms (dog bones), adjustable rear toe steer link, and adjustable rear sway bar links. Stock wheels on stock tires you might get away with only the just the adjustable toe steer links or set the car up higher so the stock excentrics can have enough adjustment in them.
You might consider the factory x73, not adjustable but usually no issues with OEM parts or need to add other suspension components.
