Default How low is TOO LOW?/What height after PSS9 install?

Just got the car back from PSS9 install and it seems WAY too low..

What height do others with the PSS9 have their car's height set?

What is the fender lip measurement? (I know not the recommended way of measuring, but quick and easy, if not precise.)

I have mine set at about 25 1/4" all around, but I know RS specs would make it go even lower.

Did you ask them to set it to any particular height? It does look low.

Looks good to me. My ride height is about that. It is lower than RS spec, but no harm in that aside from steep ramps and some bump steer.

It looks low to me, almost as low as my car.

First I would verify the cars rake, as it looks more than one degree, nose down. I would raise-up the front 3/8". Rear looks great.

Mines set at 24 3/4" at the front measured to the fender lip and 25" at the rear...I think you should check the rake as yours looks too extreme...more than 1 degree.

mine is also approx 25"-25 1/2" fender lip height off ground.

i thought at first reaction it was too low....but quickly grew into thinking it's about just right. i do have a little bump steer issue because of its lowered height.

I always thought the 993 widebodies looked best keeping the space between fender and wheel constant around the wheel - gap at top of wheel should be similar to gap infront and behind wheel.

From the RS tech specs:

Front: 124+- 10 mms
Rears: 107 +- 10 mms.

Measurements are from the bolt head of the sub assembleies... not fender wells.
