looking at lowering the 912 about 5cm just to eliminate the gap I now still have above the top of the tire and the bottom of the wheelwell... but seems like the adjustment is already at the lowest setting?

i understood the front is a bit like a T3 and I shouldbe able to trake it apart and rotate splines? but sofar I do not see immeadiately how to do?

What about the rear? Looks like not much there anymore so will be readjusting splines?

I checked the pelican parts site, but did not see clear pics explaining? Anyone that can guide me on what to do here?

Thanks!!
Peter

Managed to lower the 912 Wink thanks for the help!

Just one question still left.., the rearward part with the screw is really not foxed at all to the torsion bar? It just sildes over... and this is supposed to stay in postion like this? Seems bit strange? I would have expected some kind if locking? Now there is only a circlips at the end to prevent the toraion bar geom moving out, but the part itself is not locked in the bracket?

Rolling Eyes just a little cheating. Yes everything was rotted out, has a Ghia pan and lower structure blended into it.
