My PSS9's are on the lowest settings in the rear and it doesn't look as low as yours lawliver. I have roughly a 1-1.5 finger gap in the back. If I lower the fronts to the lowest settings, I can get a no finger gap though.
do you have any pics?

i just installed mine and lowered them to the lowest setting and im waiting for all 4 corners to finish settling. give me a week and i'll post pics. i'm also running settings 2 in the front and 3 in the rear and the car handles SOOOOOO much better than my koni and ground control set up.

What was wrong with your Koni setup?

do you have pics ? By any chance do you know if bilstein lists the "helper" springs as optional? I would think they would be necessary since they keep the spring in constant contact with the shock during hard cornering.

Helper springs are only needed when the shock is extended beyond the length of the spring. It's unlikely being used when the car is on it's wheels, and more likely to be extended under full droop (getting air or on jacks).
