Is this correct? Can anyone verify?

MAX LOWERING SPECS

Tein CS v2 - Front - 1.7"
Rear - 2.2"

Bilstein PSS - Front - 1.8"
Rear - 1.8"

Is it also true that our cars naturally have the rear riding .5" lower than the front? If so, to make the car hieght even you will need to lower accordingly:

Tein CS v2 - Front - 1.7"
Rear - 1.2"

Bilstein PSS - Front - 1.8"
Rear - 1.3"

Is this info. correct? It is what I gathered after searching all over...thanks.

Mods please move this thread to the 2nd gen GS Suspension section...thanks!!!

The car does not sit lower, but the fender is lower in the rear than in front. Lots of cars are the same way. However; some are worse than others (old school BMWs)
the car will be even, but the fender gap will not if you do a even drop all around. If you drop 2" front & 1.5" rear, the car will be higher in the back, but the fenders will have close to the same gap. Hope this makes sence.
look at my sig, see how my front end looks lower, but this way my fender gap is even. what am i talking about, i don't have fender gap my tires are tucking

are you only comparing tein cs v2 vs bilstein pss drop heights? or also spring rates and ride?

from what i've seen, cs can get you lil more than 1 finger in the fronts and 1 finger in rear.

pss from what i've read is about maybe 1.5 fingers all around. try search.

There is a pic of DaveGS's car that shows a lot less than 1.5 finger gap when he had (or still has) the Bilstein PSS setup! It looks like less than a finger if I'm not mistaken.

Oh BTW, I just searched and both Dashocker and Markgs4 mentioned in past posts that the Bilstein PSS's can bring the 2nd gen. GS down to just about no finger gap all around (on 19's; which I have). Also, check out DaveGS4's sig...

I'll post up pics of mine when I get them installed within the next few weeks...
