Im running 15mm spacers all round along with GT2 ride height and cambers on standard hollow spoke wheels.


Damper settings are both 5 front and rear.


I feel the steering to be almost too direct. I feel every bump in the road (UK roads) however at higher speeds I really have to hold tightly onto the wheel as there is almost too much feedback through the steering wheel.

Can anyone advise?


Perhaps the camber setting is too harsh? However I love the stance and "poke" of the cambers.

Front and rear control arms have been replaced in the past too....



Thanks

I had the same issue with my FVD PSS9s. I fear that you might be beyond the functionality of the coilovers at GT2 ride heights. I raised mine up a bit and the car felt much better on the highway. I would also advise to running the settings staggered with a stiffer setting in the rear due to all of the weight. This is what I have seen others recommend and how I have it on my car.

 

Here are some pics of the setup, hopefully someone else can chime in to confirm.

 

What damper do you have on your rear, 6?

 

I have 9s so its reversed (lower equals more dampening). I have mine set to 6 in the front and 4 in the rear.

 

I wonder if this is still relevant on the pss10's?

I had the same issue when my ps10's were installed. They had to be raised up a bit.
My alignment is close to stock 996T but a bit more aggressive angle.
Also my settings are 2 front and 4 rear.
This works well for me on the street and the track (3 or 4 track days per year).

 

Oh wow, this post needs more attention. I'd not read this about the PSS9's (or maybe even 10's) before. I've been reading the forum for over a year too. This COMPLETELY changes my desire to get PSS10's eventually.

Subscribed for any more info that gets posted.

 

I think most reviews state that they arent that good outside of their recommended height adjustments. I just had to raise mine a little bit and it feels so much better. But, yes, if you want GT2 height, dont go for these.

 

+1 on the ride height. Go up 10mm, align and try setting 4-6 to see what feels right.

 

See below on my post #11

It's still a decent drop in height from stock if you stick within Bilstein specified heights which is critical for optimal shocker performance.

 

I would definitely check the alignment. If the rear toe is out a little, then the front end wanders a lot.

I suggest setting the ride height to within the bilstein recommended range, see page 7 of this document: PSS10 Installation

The front's only have a 10mm recommended adjustment range and the rears only have a 5mm recommended adjustment range.

 

I too have PSS10 installed on my 996 Turbo, with front & rear H&R sway bars set at the middle holes. Currently on F5 R4 setting, ride height within Bilsten recommend range (on the high side = maximum ride height). What I experienced is very bumpy ride on uneven roads during turns (mainly in rear), making the car jumpy & very unstable. The ride on non-perfert roads feels stiff too. I will check the alignment later, but was thinking about raising the height by 10mm to try (however it might be out of Bilsten recommend range), is that ok?

 

yea, this all has me rethinking keeping my PSS10's cause I hate how high they are right now and i'm basically at GT2 height
