Damptronics only change the damper levels from soft and hard, just like PASM. There's a height adjustable suspension available from RUF and Ohlins, similar to the Enzo Ferrari's suspension for avoiding speed bumps, but it'll cost you a kidney!

My car is dropped about 2" in the back. Height to the top of the wheel arch is about 26".

hey ryan we do them all the time. The kit is called PSS10s, B16 and all kinds of other stuff but in reality it's the Bilstein PASM Damptronic kit (even though boxes often show PSS10). The 10 usually signifies the dampening settings but in this case you have your sport button and two. You won't quite be able to get to the lowering you desire (close though) with the kit....

It's below Bilstein's "recommended" and also a little higher than in your pic so you'd be close but not exactly where you wanted it

can't wait to see it with the rims and lowering! I love the fact that you want it extra low, I completely agree. Looking for additional lowering options for mine as well, I'm not satisfied with the lowering it has now.
