The PSS9 feel a bit harsh though, +the KW V3s are only a couple hundred more(much more compliant ride + lifetime warranty)

I just put my PSS on yesterday. How low of drop are you guys getting on yours? I have both the rears at the lowest setting and the passenger side is still 1 3/4" above the tires, the drivers side is about an inch over. I thought I coulde get lower on these. I put a jack under the suspension before I torqued everything.

Also do you put a jack under the suspension to load it each time you make an adjustment or just turn the wrenches?

whats the measurement from the top of your fender to the center of the axle nut? what about from the top of the fender to the ground? Im at about 25.5inches from the top to the ground and about 25 inches from the top to the ground on the fronts and still have some room to go. Maybe you need to give it some time to settle? But if you say you preloaded the suspension correctly then that shouldnt be a factor. You could always take the helper springs out to increase your drop.

Does anyone know what the PSS/PSS9 lowers the wheel gap to when following the instructions?

Thanks for this... does anyone else have pictures with the 'out of box' specs? Is this the same height on the AP2s?

When I moved my PSS9's from my AP1 to my AP2, I had to readjust the ride height. I can't remember if it was on all 4 corners or just the rears.

I have the PSS setup. Mine are set a bit lower than the recommended height(3 turns from the bottom on the front, 7 turns from the bottom on the rear). Ride is a little stiffer than stock It got rid of a bit of the body roll, but we'll see for sure in a couple weeks when I go auto-x'ing.
