Calling all PSS10 users!

A little help guys.


APPARENTLY (Another 996 Turb owner was telling me) , you can only lower the front suspension of this kit a maximum of 25mm (1 inch)


Can any one comment/ confirm on this?


I have a kit on order and want a really low stance. If it can't go lower than 25 it's going back!

I've got PSS9's and I've gotten way lower than an inch. My guess is 40mm max for the PSS10's seeing as the updates to them were very little from my understanding. Youll love the 10's, dont return em.

Same here. I'll have to look up the measurement on the turbo but it is more than an inch. The lip painfully scrapes on our driveway if not angled correctly.

25mm is within the range that Bilstein recommends for best usage. Although you can lower it more, you're going to be sacrificing performance and longevity. If you wanted just looks, you should've gotten one of the cheaper coilovers. IMO, Hondas were meant to be driven on bumpstops, not Porsches.

If you wanted extreme lowering AND performance, you should've gotten the Motons, JRZ, PMNA Cup Sachs Cup suspension as they have much shorter pistons/bumpstops/higher spring rates. My $.02
