Default Lets see your ride height along with specs

In process of ordering PSS-10s for my C4S and planning for installation in January.
There are lots of suspension threads but couldn't find a consolidated thread to see ride height pics along with detail specs.
Please post pics of your ride height along with specs. I plan on keeping my stock wheels and currently planning on going ROW but thinking a little lower may look more aggressive but not too compromising

Default ROW

My notes from two years ago list ROW at 144 F and 127 R. I got my car to 145 F, 129 R and left it alone but that was about 2000 miles before this photo was taken. M030 sways. Shocks are set to 1 for the street.

Previous setup with FSD/M033 ROW Sport height



Current with PSS9's. I haven't had a chance to measure yet but we were shooting for RS+10. I think it is a little lower than that.

The two posts above are "ROW RS" and "RS". The stance seems different, is there a difference?

There is no difference between ROW RS and RS, but there is a definite difference in the heights in those pictures. My guess is that SleepRM3 is at ROW sport, not RS height.

An actual measurement removes all doubt

Taking a cue from SleepRM3's work

What is also missing is info with respect to where the lower spring mount is within the range of threaded adjustment.

A local is lower than he wants to be using ROW Turbo (red) rear springs and he has run out of adjustment on his Bilstein B6 HDs. And that with far less than ROW 127 mm rear ride height.

Of course he has a 20 mm gap between the lower spring mount and the spring when the car is on a lift. And that with the adjuster all the way to the top. Bilstein needs to rethink their location of threading.

Thanks again. So RS+10 would essentially be 123 F and 117 R? This is likely what I will go with. The information has certainly helped as I now see that ROW is a tad too high for my tastes.
