Suspension Q. You shouldn't go past flat with your control arms when lowering....

for the best handling right? Is it not good to go this low? I am looking for optimal handling on a 225TT with Bilstein PSS-9 coilovers, which I plan on dropping from their current height a bit.

On the TT this is correct.

You don't want your lower control arms past parallel. Your roll center goes too low, and you eventually induce MORE roll.

So drop it down to this level then I guess.

Then cornerbalance up to compensate.
