Thomas,
The RSA owner probably wasn't aware of this either. As his mechanic did the work for him. When I noticed the different mounting hole size. I thought this could've came from a 993. But then he had this set up on a RSA. Unless Porsche changed the upright to 993 for RSA or one of the previous owners of that RSA has upgraded. The RSA had Big red calipers as well.
the thought had quickly slipped since the sleeve bushing remedy was quick and easy.

As said, they will work. The problem occured when you wanted to raise the car. I guess the guy with the RSA ran his or low so it was fine for him. But now we at least have an explanation! Because I thought your problem was a little strange.

I need clarification on the rear ride height measuring point.
From my understanding. The 223mm measurement is measured by the point on the trailing arm right? see picture below. on the third picture, the arrow without A
If yes, the trailing arm has this round cast boss(Red arrow), also there is this flat area right behind it(green arrow). with the difference of 3mm. Which arrow is correct one?

another week went by and still not 100% complete.
I dialed in the ride height, went out for a test ride and to settle the springs. instant GRIN. Came back, remeasured, all 4 corners dropped by 10 mm. And the weekend ended.
Will have to wait another week again to finish it up. good things is that suspension felt good, no weird noise or anything unusual.
