Painting the lower rocker panel black also gives the impression its riding higher than it is.

I see you caught that!

The front does seem pretty high. Did it settle down yet?
I think I read somewhere that you aren't supposed to torque down some of the suspension pieces until the car is down on the ground.
Like the end I circled in this pic. front and rear.



When I did mine it was on jack stands. I put a jack under the ball joint end and loaded the suspension until the car just started to raise up. Then I torqued to spec.

The rocker panel is black.

Glad you are getting it sorted. They don't come off the line brand-spanking-new that high off the ground so many of us were worried. A 986 Forum brother has got to represent.

...which has left me scratching my head on this. The culprit in all this has me leaning towards the springs as they are incredibly stiff. With that said however, they are marked correctly for the kit (ROW M030) as listed for this year car.
