The bottom line is that I think you are best off getting the suspension really tuned in, and then leaving it alone (don't bother adjusting between street and track).

My question is, how easy is it to adjust ride height?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

ZBlue996Kam is right that it is not practical to change ride height frequently (you can change the rebound settings without realigning the car), you could have the car lowered, and if you find it to be too low, you can raise it (and realign).
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm leaning towards getting PSS9's on my '99 C2 cab. The car is my daily driver, but also used for autocrossing and DE's.
My question is, how easy is it to adjust ride height? I'm thinking I'd want to do that before and after track days, in order to clear the day-to-day obstacles that life puts in my path, such as my driveway. But I'm wondering how long that process takes....also, I understand changing the damping is relatively quick, right?

Carlos:
Its not practical to change ride height before and after a DE event. You need to re-align the car after ride height change.
Changing damping is very easy with the PSS-9.
Carlos,
I have PSS9s, and my car has been lowered significantly. I have very, very few problems, and I live in Georgetown. Now that Jose from Autobahn has dialed in the suspension, the car handles outstandingly well ( I just got back from Summit Point this weekend). I highly, highly recommend the PSS9s. ZBlue996Kam is right that it is not practical to change ride height frequently (you can change the rebound settings without realigning the car), you could have the car lowered, and if you find it to be too low, you can raise it (and realign). Even if you did not lower the car too much, the adjustable rebound on the PSS9s would make them worth it.
Yup.... the PSS-9's rock.......
I'm running about 10mm below GT-3 spec....

As long as you're careful it's fine....
Don't want to change ride height too often... you'll have to re-align and it's a pita .

In the mornings and evenings it was "crisp" During one of my runs, it was snowing! That is a new experience. I have in car video of all of my runs, and it turned out great. I will be posting soon.
Thanks for the input, guys. I'm disappointed to hear that I can't change ride height quickly, but I understand the reason. At least I CAN change it, so if it's set too low to start with, it's not the end of the world.
I think I'll probably go ahead and get the PSS9's, based on the positive comments on this and many other threads.

P.S. Re SP: I thought about going, but it's a little too early in the season for me. (I like a little warmth at the track.) However, I just signed up today for the May date at SP, sponsored by Potomac PCA. If you want to go, better sign up quick, as this event usually fills up!
There's really no reason to change the ride height. Doing so doesn't change spring rates or shock damping (that's a separate adjustment from ride height and is always available). All it does is slightly lower the cg of the car, and allows slightly less air under the car, and I'd doubt if you'd really notice between whatever you chose for street and track heights.
Alignment will affect your handling more than ride height. If you're seriously hardcore, you'd have a track alignment done Thurs or Fri, do your track weekend, then be back in the shop to go back to a street alignment on Monday. But hell, if you ARE that hardcore, might as well change the ride height too!
That's a pretty serious time commitment, though.
Its better to have a track only car and have it setup to do what it's suppose to do if that's what you want.
There is no setup that allows for both street and track without compromises at this point.
I agree that alignment has a greater effect on handling than ride height, but I think that the stock ride height on US spec 996s is horribly high, and I think that there is a noticeable difference in handling once you lower it as much as I have. Although my car is low, I do not have a problem on the streets. I do not think I would lower it any more even if it were a track car. The bottom line is that I think you are best off getting the suspension really tuned in, and then leaving it alone (don't bother adjusting between street and track). Sure it is a little stiff on the street, but I prefer the feeling of driving a sports car rather than a GT.
I was referring to PSS9 ride height settings, street vs. track, with the assumption that the street PSS9 setting is already at least an inch lower than stock. I definitely agree that the standard US suspension is way too high.
This is what I did. I went to my mechanic and fixed a good price to change between stock suspension and race mode, with Pss9.
The Pss9 is not good for a daily driver. It is pretty annoying, but on the track, it amazing what it can do.
Best of luck
