I have the O2 sensor socket and it looks like it should do the job.

Look what just arrived.
Spanners-check. L/R Fronts - check, L/R Rears and drop links - Check.
Wish my 993 was this beautiful blue color.

Default Question for suspension installers.

How do I adjust the pss10s for the correct ROW height before mounting them?

Where do I take the ballpark measurement so it is adjusted properly before install?

You don't...that is the beauty of coilovers easy to adjust while on the car, only tool needed an allen key for the collar lock, wheels can stay on and the car does not have to be jacked up off the ground, just the weight off the spring..easy.

Ok, so I take the measurements while sitting on tires and then adjust accordingly? I have the repair manuals and I think the ROW heights are shown. How close are these bilsteins from the factory?

I'm glad everything arrived safely.
You do not need a spring compressor to do the install. You do however need an open sided socket to install the new set up. You can use an impact to remove the original ones, just lay it down on the ground so when it comes undone nobody gets hurt. (It doesn't spring that much, but just be safe.)
Have fun you guys!

Of course. I'm pretty busy with cars in the shop, but hit me up and I'll help you any way I can.
