According to the tire pressure guide on the door sill, the stock recommendations look to be 37 front and 44 rear. I am running the turbo sized wheel/tire combo though. As for uneven wear, I'll just replace them when necessary. It's a nice problem to have.

I have not been a "sway bar guy" for what is essentially a street car in the past. In 1990, Korman Autoworks did a spring/shock combo for my e30 M3 but no sways. It was the same with my e36 M3 and the e46 M3. The guys at GMG swore on a stack of bibles that I would like the sway bars. They were right.

The car doesn't understeer at all now. It is very neutral and can be throttle steered through corners. Above all, it is absolutely FLAT in corners. It feels flatter than the Formula Fords I used to race. Some of this is also due to the alignment (-1.0 camber front and -1.9 camber rear).

I will do some more research on the coil over matter. I want a spring/damper combo that is well matched and where the damper valves are well tuned for compression and rebound. I am inclined to keep the PASM because I actually like it despite the fact that I had strong reservations about it.

But all of this is just icing on the cake. My 997 is AWESOME!
