I just recently installed the Bilstein PSS9. I didn't touch the height adjustment and installed them on the car. I have about 1.5 finger gap in the rear, and I want to go lower, but when I initially glanced at the coilovers, it looked like the rears were at the lowest possible height setting. Can anyone confirm?

 

I har them on my car, an 06 gpw. I have them about a half an inch from the bottom in front and quarter inch from bottom in rear. I have a one finger gap front and rear. When I put them to the bottom, the car has almost zero gap. Love the ride on them. I also used kics wheel spacers 15mm front and 20mm rear. Looks really tough on AP2 v2 wheels. Gotta love it

 

Can you post pics of your car? You got the spacers with studs?

 

The rears go down lower then 1.5 for the pss9's

it's the fronts that are limited, there is a optimum range for both fronts and rears

 

I hope so. I want the rears to lower a bit more. I looked at the rears and didn't see any more threads left.. maybe I was looking at them wrong. We'll see.

 

I'm at 1.5 gap and I have plenty of thread left to go lower

 

Hope you like it as much as I do!

 

PSS9's do go lower than whats recomended, so make sure to measure.
Don't just drop it to the bottom.

measure from the center of the bolt to the top of the spring seat.

here, I already did the metric to imperial conversion for you

 

Hey Slacker, I think you might need to get this sticked, it comes up a lot. Thank you for the drawing it helped with my install.

 

Looks great! Thanks for the pics.
