Default Bilstein PSS9 - How low?

Anyone have specs on how low these coilovers actually go? Ive heard these have a limit to how low they can go. Im not looking to slam my car but was looking to have the wheel just about around the fender line or just a tad tucked. Will these work? Any info or pics would be helpful. Thank you.

Cool. Thanks. So I guess these can go low enough for a slight tuck. Anyone else?

these will not tuck tires wrong coilovers if you want to tuck but will give a clean good look and have a nice ride

i suggest either u look into tein mono flex or another coil but this is a great coilover system for the price im happy with the way im dropped plus the ride is great i have about 1 finger all aroudn and can go a little lower i would say another half an inch or a little less

Thanks for the advise, but the reason why the PSS9 delivers a great ride is the main reason why I am leaning towards these.

Basically, since you have 1 finger all around and still some threading left to go 1 inch lower, wouldnt these be able to suit my needs. Like I said, just looking for no gap, but not slammed. I was hoping maybe someone would have pics at the lowest setting. Thanks again.

Perfect. Thanks for the link. That the exact info I was looking for.

The PSS9 look good, but I would atleast like to have the option of going lower in the front. Im pretty sure some of the PSS9 owners feel the same way.

I heard the APEX'i coilovers ride great on the softest setting and has the potential of going much lower. Decisions...
