Lou posting under Shank's Account: NEED YOUR OPINION ON SPRING DILEMMA:

I had a local shop install H & R Springs on my turbo cab. The car dropped alot in height and the rear wheels have a very evident negative camber. I'm thinking 3degrees too.

How do I correct this?

Will it lower more when I put 19" wheels on?

Will the springs settle a lot more and continue to sag?

In addition, the car has a negative rake to it (the rear end is a hair lower than the front one)

(pics here....)

FAT-911 is infamous around these parts
I had the same thing done, looks like the same height as mine as well, After the springs were installed I took my car back to Porsche for an alignment and was great after that.

Also with these springs do you get a knocking noise when you turn your steering whilst the car is stationary?

Not sure if this helps you at all, but here is our 996TT Cab with H&R springs and 19's.... Not too much negative camber here...actually its factory spec.
Keep in mind it looks a bit wierd because the road is not level...its more even front to rear than the pictures look....

Might want to hold off on the alignment until the springs settle a bit.

Evan,

IS the back that much lower than the front or is it just because in the pics the ground is not level? Thanks

Lou

I currently have the stock sport techno wheels on the car, I have HRE 542R's on order, will I then have to change the camber again? Thanks
