[quote=ALPINE_997;1502349]Larry and Jason - please make a video. Put some drifting in it, high speed spiral ramp drifting and some Hot Japanese Girls in School Girl Outfits to wave the start flag.

Call it the Fast and the Serious Bellevue Drift..

Hey! Check the 11 0'clock news. We're inundated with the water you folks in Atlanta need so desperately. If the roads around here haven't been washed out or covered by landslides they are closed due water over the roadway. Not sure where Atomic went today, but it took me a little more than an hour to go in what normally would take about 5 minutes. I'm shopping for a boat on line this evening Bellevue Drift, indeed!

I think white water kayak lessons will take the place of a PDE this year, if this keeps up.

Hey guys, I am going to get PSS10 install today. Are you using stock damper height adjusted out of the box without any further adjustment when lowering it? Thanks.

No, but I'm not sure how many turns it takes. Atomic or I will find out and let you know. Are you doing the install yourself? If a shop does it for you I would think they'll have a good idea of how far you should lower it and the alignment adjustments.

I know for a fact that the shop did have to adjust the coilovers to the height where it stands now. 3/4" lower than stock although I believe it dropped an additional 1/4" since then.

toffeGT2, I believe you won't have any clearance issues because of the way the Techart front lip is designed. It actually would be easier to drive around.

I left mine at the exact height sent from Bilstein, and ended up with about a 20mm drop from stock

My labor costs were:
$880 installation
$140 corner balance
$220 alignment

Not an inexpensive venture but it made my $150,000 TT handle like it should have come from the factory.

Did you get it done in a dealership? If you didn't, that seems expensive.

We charge $600 for the install, and the alignment/corner balance together usually runs about 250-300.

GMP, had it done at Vision Motorsports in Laguna Beach, CA. They are an authorized Porsche service center and I realize I could have shopped around for a better price. I wanted them to do the work.

I totally agree, if you have a place that you trust and know they are fully capable and have the experience, its worth spending the extra couple of dollars.
