I did get the car corner balanced and it sits up just a bit higher in the front. Seems like that is the norm. Also huge improvement over what I had before which was H&R springs.

AFAIK the 10's have ten settings and the 9's have...you guessed it 9 settings (dampening settings that is)

Looks very aggressive! Good to hear the suspension setup is working well. Are these the revalved dampers, or still using the original PSS9 springs/valves? You're using the new camber plates I take it? How much camber all around, now? Sorry for the questions... track pics look great! =)

Car looks great Mike, and the big front calipers really stand out. Good luck with the rebuild after Summit Point. BTW, I recognize that black turbo cab in front of you in the one picture. I know the owners and their car is stock height, in contrast to your car's stance.

Harold, the car is back together with some race tape and a bit of epoxy... I am installing an OEM TT nose on the car, since I'm not committed to tracking this car after this coming weekend. I'm going to finish up the build on my track car, and actually made a bit of progress this past weekend...

itacud, these are not revalved. They're the OEM out of the box Pss9s that came on the car. I haven't had a chance yet to install the front camber plates. Camber numbers are 2.9 degrees front, and 2.5 degrees rear...

Dan, Thanks again, for your help on getting the suspension parts to me... I'm "not done" with the mods to the suspension. Just gonna pull the 996TT off track duty and live with it on the street for a while and start putting my dedicated track car to use. I'll be much safer in it...

Mike
