Yes, just measured the left side of the car:

Front: 143mm Rear:125mm. It's just a bit below ROW Sport height of 144/127mm.

I could have lowered the fronts a bit more with the limited front threads, but choose not to. My goal was to hit ROW Sport exactly prior to corner balance.

how did you settle with 144mm ? how much more low could front go safely ?

Ride height with MO33 is intended to be the same as ROW MO30 which is ROW Sport height so nominally 144/127mm as mpruden mentioned. Tolerance for these heights is +/- 10mm.

It just seemed to be a good balance of form and street function. I wanted a lower look and the ability to tackle most speed bumps and driveways without concern.

Not to mention, I want to believe that Porsche thought through the ride height problem when they decided on 144mm for the ROW M030 package. I have no reason to think I could do it better for a street car.

I don't think you can go much lower than a few mm on the front without getting the extra thread version, but never checked.

Not sure what to say. I measured from the factory spots on a level floor using a digital caliper. It is what it is. 143 / 125. Perhaps the camera adds height like it adds pounds???
