Pics & Review of My Bilstein PSS10 Lowered Red Turbo by cannga

2 minute(s) of a 612 minute read

Just a couple of pics to add, from my drive in Southern Cal over the weekend.

I don't have a 700 hp car so really not my place to recommend anything, but I do have a suggestion for the "methodology":

1. Change to Bilstein/Techart coilover. Keep stock alignment settings and drive for two months.

2. Change front camber to minus 1.2 degree. Drive for two months.

3. Change front toe setting to minus 2 minute -- you are now going from front toe in to front toe out, making steering very sensitive. (Do NOT push car to its limit for first 2-3 weeks after this alignment change. Give yourself some time to get acquainted with a front toe out setting.) Drive for 2 months.

Aimed with what you feel from 1-2-3 above, now experiment on your own to find out what works best for you, with the help of an experienced Porsche tuner. For example the next thing to experiment with might be more negative REAR camber.

The table below (courtesy Alex/rennteam) is a small sample of what people have done to their alignment settings, versus the stock settings in the third column. Look complicated but you only need to pay attention, at this point anyway, to 3 parameters: front camber, front toe, and rear camber. Keep in mind there are disadvantage and advantage trade-offs to every step, meaning MODERATE changes more often than not are the best solution.

Sorry for the late reply and hope this helps.

Yes, that's where the idea came from.
