These are pics from two weeks ago at Summit Point. I was on my street tires with Michelin PS Ribs and running my regular ride height with aggressive camber settings... No bottoming out... For those who think PSS9s are an issue at GT2 ride heights, check these pics...

All of these were pre-grounhog...

mike,

Car looks great and well planted.
How do you like downforce of GT2 rear with aero front?
who's turbo is out "in front" of you?

Marty

 

Riding this low with no rubbing issue... nice!!

 

Car was very stable with that configuration... I will be trying out some adjustable spats on the OEM stock spoiler this coming weekend and will report back. Don't know who that guy was, but once I got the bugs worked out between me and the track, I was lapping the field pretty consistantly in that group and was glad to get promoted...

Looks good Mike. Great pic's!

 

Mike, do you have a pic of your car parked. I would like to see how low your car sits. I just had PSS10's installed and they look just a tad to high in the front.

Steve,
I think you should have your car corner balanced. My car's front is a little higher than the rear; as long as the weight distribution is correct and the car drives well, I have no problem with a little height differences.

 

Mikelly,
Looks like you have the 6-piston brakes up front too; how do they compare with the OEM?
Thanks

 

Mikelly:

Nice ride height!! How did you get the PSS9s to lower at that height? As I remember, there isn't enough thread left on the shock, you should be way below max height on the sleeves. Did you remove the helper springs for the extra lowering?

 

I know what has been said by others about setups on the PSS9s, but I've always argued that something isn't right with the info... Here's why:



Notice all that thread left on the drivers side rear shock mount???

Here's a pic of the car on level ground with very "street friendly" alignment:

hey mike, looks awesome!

 

For street use, the OEM setup needs better pads and fluid. Otherwise it's fine. For track use, the OEM setup will be fine, but your tracking expenses will increase due to the rotors. The 6 piston setup with custom rotors (See the brake tech sticky up top) will last so much longer in track use conditions and provide more predictable and reliable braking... Not to mention that in the long run the custom rotors/larger calipers will pay for themselves!

Mike

 

Thanks Mike, sounds like the 6-piston will give even longer life for street use; better performance and cheaper for long run, that will be my next mod.

 

Are you at the lowest setting for the fronts?

 

I looked for a pic of my fronts but don't see one showing the threads left. I'm pretty sure I'm running out of threads in the front, but the car doesn't "bottom" out or have an overly harsh ride for the settings of the shocks, the ride height, or the sway bars... I do have the helper springs on all four corners.

Mike
