Default Ride Height with PSS-9

Just wondering what you guys think is the best ride height suited for cars with PSS-9? standard US? RoW? RS? or anything in between??

I like ROW. Great at the track, but you don't scrape over every dip.

RS all the way, pics in my sig link. Surprisingly, it doesn't scrape much due to the short front overhang.

No, I wish it did.
I'm having it installed today and I'm leaning more on RS height.

Tony,

Unless you use really low profile tires on your 19s (like I did: 305x25x19 & 255x30x19), your overall tire height will be about an inch taller than they guys with fairly standard 18" tires sizes. This will affect what you can do with your ride height. What tire sizes will you be using? Are you keeping the AWD?

I have to say Paul, your car looks almost photoshop'd! Are you sure you're not a web or graphic designer?
I'm going to go for RS height.

LOL Hi Alan, long time no chat !
I was thinking about you only the other day !
[no I wasn't naked and lonely.. ]

Yes it does look photoshopped, but I assure you, it is the real thing

I am restoring my my 356, and was thinking I really should throw some LED bulbs into the gauges....
I should do it to both 356's....
Do you have anything to suit ?

I'm sure we do. Email me a picture of them and I'll send you a few samples to try.

Now that's one heck of a good looking profile shot. I couldn't help but wanting to know what ride height is that? I'm guessing RS??

Thanks PK
I am not exactly sure what RS height is, I just set it to the height I wanted

*from memory* the measurement from centre of wheel, to underside of wheel arch was 320mm

If you are setting your car up, I can email the cars new owner, and have him confirm that measurement....
