Some quick pics of my new ride height....

Just picked up my car from getting a JIC Cross coil-over installed, as well as corner balancing.

I got the 7kg / 10kg per mm kit from Alex at Sharkwerks...which equates to 391 lbs F / 558 lbs rear. I had the car lowered to GT2 specs.

WOW!

The ride is better than stock and the car handles MUCH better now than before. I'm extremely happy with the JIC thus far, and will post more info after I spend some more time behind the wheel. More to follow.

New wheels coming tomorrow.

That's very nice Scott.

Be on the lookout for bottoming out in uneven corners. The car may have an unsettled feel at that ride height...

LOL...your math was almost spot-on.

The guy that set up my suspension was cringing when I told him I wanted it left on the softest setting for a better launch. He's the crew chief for a local Porsche race team, and although he loves my car...he of course wants me to use it for road racing instead of drag racing.
