Just curious as to what you guys with adjustable front and rear sways are running them on. I have mine set at full stiff rear with second to softest in front. Car actually drives great but wondering if I should stiffen up the front another hole? I would reccommend that if you guys are running the rear or both with the stock drop links you should get some good adjustable drop links. I was on rear gt3 bar second to stiffest with stock front turbo bar and stock drop links all around. Just recently added front adjustable bar and adjustable drop links all around and the cars drives SOOOO much better. Still handles very well but seem to have gained some suspension travle or something. Should I change these settings for 90% performance street and 10% DE usage. By the way currently have PSS9 set to 3front and 2 rear. Car drives really well.

 

So, First question I'd ask is "street" or "track" settings...

Looking for a good comprimise. There may not be one though. I guess for the track. I feel like once you have stiffer coilovers, corner balance, and front and rear sways it will be hard to have a car that does not handle well on the street. What I noticed with my set up is if you turn sharply back and forth at lower speeds (under 40 mph) car seems like it could be a smidge tighter. However, when you do this but just turn the wheel a bit more, the car does grip quite well and is staying relativelly flat. I guess I just need to get used to turning the wheel a bit more if I experience what feels like understeer. I think what feels different is that before I changed the front bar and the setting on the rear bar the old setup was probably bound up some or preloaded but felt very crisp. The alignment was proabably a bit more negative also. I know negaitve is good but the new alignment which is only slightly less aggressive drives so much more comfortable at higher speeds. It really feels night and day. Car is not as nervous feeling over bumps or mid turn and tracks straight with no tramming on interstate at over 100mph. Just trying to see if front bar should be left at second softest or move to middle (#3 setting). By the way mike I lucked into some 900 mile takeoff 997tt brakes all around and you are correct about the stopping improvement. Initial pedal feel on street is not much different but once you start heating them up or push a tad firmer then they really scrub speed better. I don't track nearly as much as you but I do go and go to Road Atlanta. This is no place to make mistakes! (Walls of concreate everywhere) Just wondering if anyone feels that this#2 softest upfront is too soft? Thanks for the feedback and thanks again for sharing your knowledge about the brakes. Do you know what other cars can use our old big reds without too much issue?

 

On the street I run full stiff rear and middle on the front or if GT3 bar, 1 closer to softest. I like oversteer!

 

Mine are set on the middle settings and I'm running H&Rs. I also run my Bilsteins at 1 rear and 3 front. I also drive this car in Northern Va./ Washington DC traffic on occassion and haven't found it to be to harsh. Very compliant and easy to drive, to me.

Thanks Mike. Sounds like a pretty similar setup and it does ride pretty well given the flatness of cornering. I'll probably start the de as is and if it needs adjusting I'll move it a hole while at the track.

 

Moving the front full soft will get you more bite/oversteer, and dial out the understeer...
