On one of the bilstein threads here on Rennlist, it was mentioned that Performance Shock in Sonoma was a place to go for Bilstein work. May be worth a call.
I'll get you some pictures of mine as soon as I can get the front wheel off. Unfortunately its been a busy day at the office. May be that the previous owner swapped in different springs to further lower it.

The rear spring/helper combo probably shouldn't be compressed with the car in the air if that's the case. That looks like the rear damper and ride height are in fact maxed out but just can't go any higher.
Paul, Bilstein has pushed the servicing of coilovers out to different shops. Sonoma may be close to you. I lived in silicon Valley for 7 years and it's wasn't a bad drive to Sonoma. It may be worth a call to Performance. They may be able to take a look at them and see if (1) they are the right PSS10s for the car, (2) if the springs are the right size springs, and (3) what you will need to do to make it right.
I am sorry I haven't had time to jack up my car and take the wheels off to snap a picture with business commitments. But i will as soon as i can.
You can always go to Sharkwerks in the east bay which knows their way around the 996.
Thanks.
I ended up getting 2 of them from Summit (I wish their description was more accurate), they are the same 84 wrenches that come with the shocks. IMO, they are kinda cheaply made (but I guess they get the job done). The pin is actually square.
Getting the correct opening size and 6mm round pin was a bit of a search
