So here are some pics of my setup i've been working on to have bilstein PSS9 fronts, maybe one day i'll run across some PSS9 R32 rears to buy up, if I dont give up and sell these, or just go with bilstein non adj Z32 rears and sleeves...

They started out as a pair of fronts from a porsche, forget which model, and then I had the mount locations removed, then machined to continue the threading down the body the full way, allowing me to use a thread on lower mount for height adjustment independent of droop.

Heres a shot next to an S13 front KW Variant 3, you can see with the spring hat in the same location, these will hang about 2.5" lower than the variant, however they have more stroke, so with just a little droop, I should be able to have them only extend 1" or so past the bottom of where the KW's would be.

Seems like a very long damper body for that much stroke. Might be a bit difficult to get those up front and have plenty of travel.

Going off the KWs Like I said, should be able to get them in, with the same height/travel they'll hang about 1" lower at the bottom of the body.

If they end up working good, awesome, if not i'll sell em and get deviant housings for front 3000gts for the car these are going on now, as they are no longer planned for my LS1 car, so i'm not so dead set on them now.
