Question Ordinary vs 19mm Raised Spindles on KW V3?

Hi, I'm considering upgrading to kw v3 for my 1988 3.2 Targa. I found there are two versions of kw v3 for the g model.

One is ordinary, the other is with 19mm Raised Spindles.

Can anyone help me explain which one I should choose and why? Thanks!

19mm Raised Spindles one: (https://www.vividracing.com/dampers-kit-porsche-911-body-with-19mm-raised-spindles-for-use-with-torsion-bars-19741989-p-154019033.html)

Is your car lowered? If so how much? The raised spindle is meant to correct geometry and increased suspension travel on lowered cars.

In simple terms:

Use the "ordinary" if you are rebuilding the suspension to ride at stock ride height.

Use the raised spindles if you are lowering the car much below stock ride height and need to retain suspension travel.

If you want to run 15in wheels, 19mm can cause issues.
