Guess what, just have the car jack up and find out it's has the PSS9 installed. Save me a big bucks. Anyway, thanks for the inputs. Will see how the things goes after it came out from workshop.

Another suggestion... go all the way and get the KW Club Sports. Same as the V3's with stiffer spring rates. Mine were actually special Manthey Racing's version of the KW V3's that I had upgraded at the factory in Germany.
KW will say the Club Sports are 'track only' but I drive my car everywhere and it's not really that much stiffer than the V3's I had originally.
However, as I'm sure you read all over here, if I were to do it again I would just skip this step and go directly to Motons Everyone tells me they are WAY better on the track and are in fact MORE comfortable on the road.
As always, it all depends on your budget and intended purpose.

Dug up an old thread in hope of getting more current opinions/recommendations on which coilovers the 993 crowd are buying today. I want to lower the car to somewhere around RS +10mm height and will be used for street/back roads primarily. I’m not overly concerned with comfort as much as I am looks, performance and sport feel. The stock ride and ride height is 🤮

been running 10's for a few years, and love'em. the V3's have independent C&R adjustments, vs. the "1-click" 10's. i've had my car on canyon burns, and at big willow. car handles beautifully. when i set the 10's to "3", the ride is as nice as my lexus. when i move off the 10's i'll be moving to ohlins, but that's a long way off. my car is lowered, but not slammed.

After 5000 miles I couldn’t be happier with Ohlins Road and track. They are amazingly compliant on any bumps and hold position really well through the turns. The car is completely transformed and a dream to drive. Wouldn’t consider anything else.

Any pics of your ride height? The Öhlins description says they will lower approx. -/+ 15mm in the front and -11/+12 in the rear. If that’s it, that’s not much height adjustment.
