Okay, after reading many perspectives I took the plunge and purchased a set of Bilstein PSS10 and GMG sway bars for my 2008 C4S. I will be getting these installed as soon as I get them from Vivid, but the next question is: what is the best alignment settings if I drop the car about 1" front and rear? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

 

Dan at Vivid recommended to have a regular alignment done to Porsche specs. I had them installed and aligned last week. I like the feel of the alignment and the bilsteins. Of course if you are tracking it a lot you could add some negative camber, but for the street it will just wear your tires inside. Good luck!

 

Porsche has a few specs for alignment, street or track. I have the track setting, it will be a little harder on the tires, but the car definitely handles very well with the alignment.

 

I have used the GT3 street spec settings on my 996 and 997, works very well. These are factory settings available in the alignment computer. You'll also want to put a couple week's worth of driving on the new suspension before getting final alignment done.

 

I am sure that I have a similar set up.

One other thing to note, make sure you corner balance your car at the same time.

 

Hey guys, please explain what corner balancing is exactly. Thanks, probably going with the pss10s this winter.

 

NorthVan, question- Do you feel that corner balancing is beneficial for non-track driving? I had considered doing this on my 996 but was told not to unless I was planning on getting into competition driving, and it would not make any noticeable diff for DD.

You compete and have experience with this so just curious on your thoughts.
