pic request for those using pss9s

can someone with a pss9 setup post a side pic of their car on the lowest recommended setting? I'm thinking of installing these and would like to get an idea of how low they can go. Thanks!

This is the lowest Recomended Setting by a local Porsche Performance Shop "Autowerks"... After begging them to SLAM (SLAMATION NATION WESA!!) my car, they said this is the lowest I should go without Rubbing and damaging something overtime, starting with the "Drive Shafts"

If you want Slamation Nation, go with H&R Coilovers, they go much lower...

im not really looking to slam the car. just want something that has the best combination of price, comfort, height and handling. Wont be tracking the car either, so I thought pss9s would be best. but ill also look into the h&r setup. thanks.

GT2/GT3 uses H&R Coilover that was re-done by Porsche or TecArt

on a 996tt don't go more than 1.25 inches in the front. That kit isn't designed to be slammed and if you go much lower you'll ride on the bump stops. Not a good situation.

carnerd: have you had any problems with hitting the bump stops or bottoming out with your current setting? Hows the handling & ride compared to stock?

Anything lower than this was bottoming out and affecting handling IMO. The rear is a little raised for rake (looks). I started low and gradually raised until it felt good.

The ride is super supple, much smoother than stock, and tightens when you push it. It truely is a dual mode system.
