      Default How low can you go with PSS9?

      Hey guys,

      Does anyone have any photos of a mkIV R32 with Bilstein PSS9 coilovers? Curious as to how low they can go.

      Thanks!

      Google is king. Try searching before posting mate, not having a go at all, but that's all I did...

      Mine (V3) is sitting -25mm at the mo and still get clearance issues. Paulie runs a PSS9 setup but not sure what his setup is.

      I was actually asking if anyone had any photos. I'd like to see how they can make the car sit. And yes, I have googled for photos.

      Thanks anyway.

      I agree to an extent, it's always best just to try searching the forum first but most of the time its useless.

      There are quite a few members with PSS9's and most people are usually more than happy to help

      But they'll most likely go lower than you would probably need anyway

      I've got PSS9's which are on standard ride height atm. However, I did have a set of Eibach Pro Street S which can be lowered front/rear by 35mm-65mm.

      Here is some pics of Scotty's car (on Eibach's) just to give you an idea...
      My TR on coilovers

      Unfortunately, I have no intention of lowering mine anywhere near 50mm let alone 65mm for practicality reasons. I reckon you may be struggling to find many peeps out there who have lowered their R32 to the max?

      The lowest MK4 on here is Pomme's and he's got air ride?

      Sorry to hijack dude but I Goya a couple of questions. Any problems let me know and I'll delete.

      So the minimum lowering with the V3s are 10mm. Anyone had any issuses running only a 10mm drop??? What are the rough fitting costs

      cheers.

      25mm, and I have some small issues with a dragging plate on my cats. On some REALLY badly humped roads.


      Wouldn't like to go lower purely based on practicality.
