Park Distance Control Question

I am installing the JCW Pro Splitters on my MINI. I have PDC and there are no splitters with this feature......so I'm modding the JCW splitters to house the sensors. I'll post pics on how to do it when done for others who have held off due to the lack of this feature.
The question is: how sensitive is the sensor to its stock height?
1 - If you have a loaded car it still works right?
2 - If you lower your car with the JCW springs and drop it 30mm they must still work right?
If the above 2 are correct can I put the sensor 30mm higher on the splitter without issue. I am talking the front sensor (that faces forward)
Thanks for your comments!

Should work, just measure where the old sensors were and mark it off. I have seen people do this with aftermarket body kits on rear PDC on older MINIs, you have to be in the same range.

I have them 20mm higher than stock. Seems to work OK so far. I think these things see pretty wide so an inch or two should be fine. Thanks for the feedback.

See the JCW section on how to do this.
