I know Lucent does great work and I got a great tour of the shop when I bought TurboRon's wheels a few months back. But I think I'm going to have Hergesheimer do the work. They're right around the corner from me and I've used them before. Laura and Mark are very nice people and they're very fair.

BTW...here's some info on ride height that I've gathered from past threads:

"The front ride height is measured from the bottom of the tension tie strut's attachment to the frame. There is a bolt head there. You measure from the bolt head surface to ground level.
The rear ride height is measure in a similar manner except it is from the milled surface of the bore hole in the rear suspension side sub-frame member."

Here's all of the ride heights for reference:

# USA Turbo
Front 158mm +/-10mm
Rear 158mm +/-10mm

# ROW Turbo
Front 138mm +/-10mm
Rear 148mm +/-10mm

# X73
Front 128mm +/-10mm
Rear 133mm +/-10mm

# GT2
Front 113mm +/-5mm
Rear 138mm +/-5mm

I just picked up my car after the PSS9's were installed. I'm amazed how similar it feels to stock. I had the adjusters set at 6 so I just added some more damping and I'll try that out later.

I had the installation done at Hergesheimer and they did a great job at a very reasonable price. Obviously, they also aligned and corner balanced it.

I wish it wasn't raining right now but I'll have a chance to try it at Buttonwillow on Wednesday. It should be interesting with the amount of rain we've had here today and how much we're expecting tomorrow in SoCal.

BTW....X73 ride height looks great.
