I'll also measure the gap when I get home. I'll post them all. Visually, I can't tell the diff.

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

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!

Unfortunately I did not measure the gap this morning before I dropped the car off at the dealership. It won't be ready til tomorrow so I'll post pics asap.
