I think it is at least 4 inches without lowering the car. Call suncoast porsche. I think they could tell you the exact measurement.

With 4", have you adjusted the factory ride height settings on the Bilstein PSS? Can you adjust to get higher height?

Yes you can! That's why I install with Bilstein PSS. I have my shop (SharkWerks) setup same high as GT3 OEM. I see you have Techart springs, those spring are not as low as the H&R. You should be Ok!

The PSS is for my new car with aerokit package, not my current car. I think I must check with the workshop so I get the correct height. How do you measure at the rear, and what height do you have?

I finally did it!!!!
I dropped my 2005 997 off for the mods

1: gt3 front bumper (thank you to those who suggested this over the lip)
2: techart sideskirts (all my idea)
3: techart springs (slightly softer than the h&r's)
4: Lightly smoke the rear taillights (love it on my blacked out magnum srt8)
5: Repaint My acid stained calipers (hope you guys don't yell)
Did i forget anything? what's a few more thousand after i've gone this far.
