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.

before the front hieght was 24.75" and rear 25.75" and to be honest the ride was not soft and i always complaint to myself,but after the bilsteins hd,sways and especially alignment and tire pressure 32 f and 34 r...the ride hieght around is 25.5"....the handling is superb ...the car shocks absorbs all potholes on the road(of course exept huge ones) and no transfer into the cabin/driver before i use to drive around imperfections on the road now i look for them to go over ...before i had to hold the steering with both hands ,now i cruise with one at any speed......i am more than happy i would describe it as hitting the jackpot with the suspension setup.

Maci, I agree with Red. Remember that the weight of the engine is over the rear wheels. I found 39 to 40 PSI in the rear to work well. The 44 PSI that Porsche recomments is too much, IMO.

no idea why ...got the car like that....will probably move them out to flush with bumper....darn another project----they never end.
POST 15Original post
Did the previous owner install after market mufflers? If you have enough length, you should move them so they extend about 1.0 to 1.5 inches past the upper part of the opening in the bumper cover. I am guessing on the distance here since I no longer have my 996. Maybe someone can measure how much their tips stick out and post that number here. The pic below is the best shot I have of how far out my tips extended.

Quotes source post: 6432046
for track or daily driving? what did you gain by lowering the psi?
POST 26Original post
Quotes source post: 6539699
Daily driving. The 44 PSI caused the center of the Pirelli tires to wear out more quickly in the center than on either edge, even with 1.5* negative camber. Once I dropped to 39 to 40 PSI, the wear was much more even, with the inner edge wearing slightly faster than the center or outer edge, which is to be expected with the negative camber.
