Doug,
You mean whether the Bilstein "works" at only 10mm lowered? That's actually the lowering of my car and all my descriptions are based on this.
Whether it would feel better to you than the current springs? I have no idea!
Good luck though. Maybe JC Cross is not a bad idea after all, as it's obvious it could even do stock height?

KA 997TT,
Thanks for the clear answer. I wanted to ask you to draw on the picture but didn't want to impose. Turns out you did it anyway.

Can, thats good to know, I thought it was lower. Has your car settled at all? I just don't think I can handle much lower than 10-15mm max. You see my driveway is fairlly steep and there is a hump in the street that makes things even worse. Neither is going to change in the foreseeable future. So I have to do something. Tell me what your car measures at the mid fenderwell front and back. Mine is actually no lower than my old ROW 996, but the turbo front overhang is the killer.
I'm not interested in the JIC Cross, I want to keep the PASM.

Here are my mid fender to ground measurements:
Before 67.3 cm front, 68.8 cm rear.
After 65.7 cm front, 68 cm rear (average of a few readings on different areas since I couldn't tell for sure which way the ground is tilting).

Thanks. I will have to see just how much l can go before it hits, I have a bad feeling I may be headed for stock. We shall see.
