Use this (that Bill V put out last year) as a guide. You'll see on the bottom where it advises to go to the RS uprights once you are at a certain height or below.

Thanks for the reference table OverBoosted28.
After I got "courage" to go under the car I was able measure the front height at 130.17 (5 1/8). I couldn't get it done for the rear; Approaching from the front of the wheel I found a plastic thing under where I thought the wishbone should be and from rear of the tire I couldn’t get a clear view to find the measurement point. Assuming the car has the proper correlation between front and rear height, I feel comfortable using only the front height to analyze the situation. I will definitely maintain a proper correlation when the job is done.
For the front: ROW turbo height is 144 +- 10 (144-10 =134) and the RS height is 124+-10 (124 + 10 = 134). Seems that with a ROW turbo setup I can get into RS height territory and vice versa. At 130 I am right there in between the two setups, a Low ROW turbo or a high RS. Assuming I will go no lower than this, I tend to think I don't need to get the RS tie rods and uprights, but since the numbers are overlapping, I got a little doubt. Am I getting all wrong? Should I just check if the current tie rods are parallel to the LCAs and if they are, just keep the way it is just adding the PSS10, and if not, change the tie rods and uprights as well? Or is there already an obvious conclusion that doesn't need further investigation? I always felt the car just handled marvelous, but the more I read, more I am convinced it is just the case that I don't know better. I can't wait to feel difference you guys talk about (Standard to PSS9/10).

I'm having a debate on my wife lipstick color tonight, anyone care to join in?
I guess it was a long pot hole MTL/TO. You interloper you!
Sorry Ron if I offended you, this thread was just too funny.
Wish my wife would tell what color underwear I should wear in the morning.
Got to ask my wife to renew my Rennlist membership, I was downgraded to user.

Just to wrap this thread up - had the PSS10 installed yesterday and they sure are a better ride. I've set them at 4F & 6R but really like playing around with the settings depending on my mood. Thanks for all of the advice.
