Kirb, can you measure from the pavement to the start of your front lip?

Sheeeeyaaaaat! Turbo with lip is 6" I think. Hope you have no curbs to climb my friend. Ouch!
Car looks great though. Love what you've done.

I too would be interested to hear Kirby's impressions of 4/4 on the PSS9. I did a couple of tests recently in adjusting the suspension settings and will be quickly going back to 4/3.
It is amazing how one click can make such a big difference on this setup

Thanks for the pics, just ordered PSS9 for my 04 C4S, wheels to come next week. As for the settings, how do you like the settings at 4/4? What from camber are you running?

I would start with 4/4 and go from there. Like Arthur I'm going to try 4/3, but I'm waiting for my spacers to come in, plus some other goodies...I want to do everything at once.
dirtdoc, What wheels are you getting???

Kirby,
You will be surprised with the difference in changing the front over to a 3 makes. I tried out 4/3, 4/4 and finally 5/4. I can honestly say that after driving the car for a while at 4/3, 5/4 felt sloppy and nearly as bad as original spec. At 4/4 the read end was nice but the front was still a bit loose and you would still get the nose lifting or diving under various conditions. At 4/3 it is amazing.
I also had mine realligned as it was a ***** up the first time round and set the read camber to 1.3 and mate what a difference. The car feels so much more planted now. Before the change I had 1.04(l)/1.2(r). I believe the settings the dealer set the car to was X74 settings and it makes a huge difference.
Enjoy your new ride (you know what I mean) it only gets better with age and time behind the wheel

Kirby:
Wheels are BBS RS-GT Black Diamond, same as yours, paint is seal gray, same as yours. I was glad to see the combination that I wanted on your P-car... exactly the look that I wanted. Also, thanks for the info on settings, I'll try 4/3 and -1.0/-1.2 for camber. Are you going to ALMS at Infineon next weekend, would like to see your car in person.
