I guess I’ll just drive the heck out of it for now and worry about changes when it’s time for a new set of tires.

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

After getting my PSS9s installed, I had the car aligned and corner balanced. I asked them to start around ROW M030 height and go from there. When they were done the car seemed a little low in the rear, but it was hard to tell without measuring. After a couple test drives, I measured the ride height front and rear (based on the locations in the service manual) and got about 125mm in the front and 107mm in the back (minor variation side to side). So it has a reverse rake. However, the corner balance numbers look good (cross numbers anyway). LF: 763/24% RF: 728/23% LR: 861/27% RR: 827/26% I'm not sure what they were measuring, but they listed the ride heights as: LF: 25.625 RF: 25.625 LR: 25.125 RR: 25.375 Does this seem right? I was really hoping for 125-130mm in the front and 130-135mm in the rear. I'm not sure I can live with 107mm in the rear without bottoming out.

POST 2Original post

did you measure with your equivalent weight in the driver seat?

I did not, but I will do that. I’ve got a bunch of weights I can use.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I loaded 180lbs in the driver seat and checked again. Numbers did not change much. Maybe a little higher in the front.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I spoke to the p-car shop and he said that’s usually how they set them up for handling (rear a little lower than front) to help prevent the car from diving under breaking. His Boxster is set up similarly. I guess I’ll just drive the heck out of it for now and worry about changes when it’s time for a new set of tires.

POST 6Original post

This is about right, my 996 is setup with a little extra weight on the rear for traction. The 986 is setup about the same, don’t have the exact numbers handy. Shawn
