).....but just have to add that I've been messing w/offsets on 911s for some time, starting w/ the 993, and granted I change alot of other things on my suspensions, but if I thought I was sacrificing lots in handling (or anything on the track), I would have pulled it in.

Suggestion

changing the scrub radius with spacers can actually have a deleterious effect on handling--the opposite of what your goal is.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here is a spacer with the two screws that attach it to the hub: Here is a comparison of the stock vs. GT3 (?) bolt included with the kit. Notice the shorter head on the GT3 bolt. Before rear: After rear: Before front: After front: Obviously 5 mm is not much, but I do like the look of the subtle increase in the track. Hopefully, I can dial out more understeer on my next alignment because my 40th handles no wear near as nice as my Box S did. Next on the list is a Fabspeed exhaust to take 25 lbs off the rear of the car.

POST 2Original post

its definately "subtle"...... You'll enjoy the Fabspeed exhaust, I love mine.

POST 3Original post

Fu** me thats subtle ! (sorry I'm on the beer already !) Well it is Friday !

POST 5Original post

Looks fine...........FYI, here's 7 in the front , 17 in the back.

POST 6Original post

changing the scrub radius with spacers can actually have a deleterious effect on handling--the opposite of what your goal is. adding negative camber is the accepted way of dialing-out understeer. but if that 'look' is what you're after, then mission accomplished.

POST 7Original post

I know the 'scrub' is a valid point (to a point ).....but just have to add that I've been messing w/offsets on 911s for some time, starting w/ the 993, and granted I change alot of other things on my suspensions, but if I thought I was sacrificing lots in handling (or anything on the track), I would have pulled it in.

POST 8Original post

Well, I put 14mm front and 7mm rear, plus max camber on the stock suspension and it handles beautifully at the track! I wonder at what point increasing track starts to degrade handling?

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here's some daytime pics: Is it also true you can damage the wheel bearings by putting too large a spacer on? I am hoping that I can get -1.0 on the front during the next alignment, as I am at -0.8 now. Also to decrease understeer, do I ask for toe-in or toe-out. I would guess toe-out?
