Best thing is to look at the thread length remaining on the front (not the rear). Lift the car and remove the wheel and you should easily be able to scrape the crud away to see.

I did measure it once. I'll have a look.

Hmmm, mine is on PSS9s too, and I've got the fronts as high as I can get - I think!

Front:650mm
Rear: 653mm

Seems to sit okay - was better than it was after the PSS9s were fitted when rear was at 685mm! Ah well, next weekend's job, see if I can get 20mm more height out of the fronts.

Maybe gravity is stronger in Oz to stop you flying off into space.

My car is sitting lower than standard but not excessively low.

I'm tempted to wind it up a little to see if the ride is better.
