random question and I dont mean to thread jack, but do bilstein pss lower the car the same amount as the pss9s? Do the pss have external reservoirs as well?
I can take some measurements of my PSSs, if someone else wants to measure their PSS9s.

thanks for the info guys, im pretty much a newb when it comes to REALLY understanding suspensions, but when people speak of "revalving" their coilovers, what does this entail?

PSS Measurements -
Front:
Lower bolt center to bottom of perch threads = 11 3/8"
Lower bolt center to top of perch threads = 16 1/8"
Usable shaft length = 4 1/4"
Top of usable shaft to lower bolt center = 21 1/4"
Rear:
Lower bolt center to bottom of perch threads = 7 3/8"
Lower bolt center to top of perch threads = 10 5/8"
Usable shaft length = 5"
Top of usable shaft to lower bolt center = 16 5/8"

To answer the revalving question...
Instead of trying to write up a response about damping and it's roll in the suspension, it's probably best for you to do a bit of reading from decent resources.

Give those a read through or two and they'll probably get you pointed in the right direction.

I'll stick to what I said before. Get which ever of these you want an then if there is still too much body roll get a front bar and if under steers too much after that get a bigger rear bar or wider front tires.
