I remember what an incredible difference they made over stock and am sure you will enjoy them for many miles to come.

Final Front ride height = 5.6
Final Rear ride height= 5.0

Had it a bit lower (about anoth .375) but then changed back and forth a few times just messing around with it. Also installed ROW front and rear stabiliser bars when under there. And since the wheels were already off decided to do the bleed/clean brakes and clutch. PSS9's are set at 5's all around. Left the engine tray on!

I have the PSS9s at 5 all around right now. It is unbelievable! What a difference. I drove around in the rain today and the ride was smoother for regular driving. Went back to the airport and did my "personal closed Autox course" on the runway and taxiways after the rain stopped and it dried up and noticed there is much less body roll and weight transfer (although when we did the corner balance we got everything within a half pound of where we targeted with my weight and half tank fuel), The rear end was obviously more planted which allowed getting back on the throttle earlier coming out of corners. At high speed there was noticibly (sp?) less float than there was.

I may change the settings tomorrow to 6 on rear and 4 on front and see how that works or to see if a lame driver like myself notices any differences.

The install was not too difficult but the scissors lift in the hanger made it easier than it could have been on just jack stands. Getting the drop links in was the most troublesome for me anyway as I had to put the car on the drive up platform (home made from 2x12s) Just didnt feel real safe under there. Should have just done them when I took it to get it corner balanced and used their lift.
