as a comparison for a setup very few have complaints about, remember the x73 setup is a 20mm drop. those preset figures and suggested numbers should show vast improvement. occasional scraping is just gonna be part of the joy. angle it as best you can and wtf out for speed bumps! lol its either that, or row row row your boat, gently down the stream.

So with this setup, the drop is 30mm +/-5mm in the front and 17.5mm +/-2.5mm in the rear.

02996ttx50, lol....I'm with you.

I agree though, that even stock height I have scraped...and I'm really careful about that. I think just about 20mm of drop is the sweet spot. I may go just a tad lower though. Hopefully my coilovers get here soon so I can get get rid of my oars and anchor

Hah! I hear ya I'm probably near -42.5 rear if not more and my clearance at the front is well let's just say my gf's finger barely fits BTW the... Never mind lol

Scraping is part of life. I'm over it and my most recent c4s lips, is, well I continue to re-shape and trim it! With not much left. @ $250 per lip!? I'll keep "sanding" Hah.

Thanks Tim,

I think I read that PSS9 have are opposite stiffness settings, so 9 being softest and 1 stiffest wheres the PSS10 with 10 being stiffest. Or am I wrong?

I know its definitely 10 stiffest on PSS10 as it was stated in the description in my box

I managed to give you reps.

Oh I know



Im not done with installing all the bits I have for the car's first go round so it wouldnt do any good to corner balance it now. I will see if I can get a better shot of the car from the side (I like a little forward rake anyway)
