Redwood wrote me and said that they max out around stock height. That may be higher than Performance suspension, and about the same as the LR?

What size rim and tires are you running? I think I want this GT set as well. How's it feel in the softest setting?
Ok so 1" above stock is what we recommend for those looking to maintain compliance. You are able to set up the car with a 2 fist gap (roughly 4" lift) between the tire and fender if you really want, however this means the shock wont have much droop and wont ride as well as it would "normally".
for those of us who want just a comfy ride and maybe lower it 1" do we need anything else? any control arms etc? and do you have any installers in socal? southbay?
You don't need anything else for a mild drop. We are the only "certified" installers currently (located in Fremont). Although most premium performance shops should be able to complete the install. There isn't really anything too difficult about it compared to other vehicles. Its just time consuming, about 8hrs from start to finish.

@RedwoodMotors Price to install ?
Also what's difference between Perf Sport, Grand Touring, and HPDE?
Perf Sport is for those who like to drive aggressively in the canyons or for the occasional track day, but don't want a full on track suspension. GT is the softest, most compliant kit we offer, ideal for those looking for a ride improvement over stock, yet keeping the body of the car more controlled over bigger undulations. HPDE is for those who track their cars and are looking for the most body control at the expense of a little ride comfort.
Not yet. But perhaps soon.
ETA: I do have a list folks that sent me messages about their interest. I will start at the first one and go down list if I need to.

While they probably would take the money and do it, it would be very awkward to bring a competitor’s product in for installation.

You might need to define mild drop. I dropped my car 1" and needed adjustable camber arms on the rear to get it back into spec and the front is still out with the factory arms.
There didn't seem to be anyone in the Baton Rouge, LA area that could do a good install. I started going to all the repair shops that worked on upper end cars - Porsche, BMW, etc. The 3rd shop I went to suggested I check out Vinnie's Exotics. I had never heard of that shop prior to this. I called them and went by and spoke with Vinnie. I knew immediately that this was the place. They had dozens of Porsches and a handful of truly exotic cars, Lambo, Ferraris, etc. I printed out the Redwood Installation instructions and then made sure that Redwood knew about Vinnie's Exotics and it all worked out well. Vinnie did need to call Redwood and was immediately given the information he needed. The Redwood folks simply could not have been more helpful and pleasant to deal with. Good luck with yours.
I would recommend Johnson's Alignmenton Hawthorne Blvd in Torrance. He does all my vehicles including Porsche racecar. Steve A is the owner

You should take your car to a place that does corner balancing if you have coilovers. West End in Gardena was the place we took our tuned and tracker cars to for a decade now from Nasioc to Rennlist.
I exclusively use Johnson's Alignment on Hawthorne Blvd in Torrance for suspension work on all my vehicles, including Porsche racacer. Talk to Steve, the owner.
