Pics After PSS9 Install
Snapped a few pics this morning after installation of the PSS9 suspension. Got the kit on sale from Vivid Racing ($1899 for the C4), and it arrived within a couple of days. Install was by Arling at Lucent, who's great to work with. Not affiliated with these guys, but I do recommend them. Love the lowered profile and tighter ride, but will have to play with settings to get it just right.

Thanks guys. Those pics were taken just south of the Redondo Beach pier. Not sure what the bumper height is, but I'll take some measurements today. I was surprised at what a huge visual difference the drop made, not to mention the huge difference in ride quality.

Looks very good. I'm looking to upgrade my suspension on a cab as well and am interested in why you chose PSS9. Did you also install sways? Do you need to? (it is a cab after all so I assume the enhanced stability would be a good thing).
Did you consider any other set-up, such as ROW-030?
I really dont track with the cab, just looking for the better stance and better ride; get rid of the floatiness!
Thanks,

Blkonblk -- can't imagine why you'd hate us SoCal folk. It's actually pretty rough out here -- down to 79 degrees with a light breeze. 
Nice-looking 997 BTW.
Gofor28off -- I considered the ROW M030, but went with the PSS9 because it offers a more significant drop, has adjustable settings, and is now available at close to the same price as the ROW since the PSS10 is out. I was told that the ROW brings the car down a bit (less than the PSS9), but doesn't offer the same ride quality as the PSS9 or adjustable settings. I don't know much about all this stuff, so I went with the collective wisdom of those with more knowledge and experience. No sway bars. I also don't plan to track my car, but I pushed it up to an unmentionable speed on the freeway last night, and there was none of that scary front-end sailing away sensation that plagued the stock setup.

Anyway, watch out for the parking lot speed bumps.

If not oo bold to ask, what does the PSS9 cost and what were install costs. Mine is now officially a high mileage car, so its time to change shocks anyway at the very least, almost 75k miles.
