Part of the problem is that the specs are +/- 10mm for manufacturing variation. So, an ROW car can have +10, and a US car can have -10, and the US car in theory will be the same or lower.

OK. Here we go.
Front is about 1 1/2", or 38 mm

Rear is 1 5/8", or 41 mm.

Front ground clearance is 5" or 127mm
<img src="http://members.rennlist.com/palting/Porsche%20030s.JPG" alt=" - " />
You all judge. 8mm front, 1 mm rear diff.I vote for PSS9. Too bad X73 is not yet available.

Guys,
I will post pictures tomorrow of before and after the install. If I understand correctly, the car will also "settle" a bit after a few days so it may go down even more. Whether or not the difference is perceptable I have no idea.
Fadz, I'm not sure I understood your question about posting a picture of the installed B&M short shifter. There should be no difference in the outward appearance. Let me know if you meant something different.
I feel like I'm getting a new car all over again!
