I'am going to raise my rear suspension pick up points and would like to know what should be the ride height?
I found that front shoud be 108mm from torsion bar center to spindle center. What is Porsches recomendation? I know that some of you have raised pick up points, have you used the factorys specs or what. How much have you raised those? And finally, is there any poin to make the stock kind of trailing arms? I have allready made a jig with stock trailing arm dimensions. Those would use stock bearing hub but otherwise made of tube. We would use uniball's rather than stock kind of bushings. Car is now on a table and it would be easy to make allmost anything, so if you have good ideas feel free to share Thanks Mika |

Mike,
You're correct... but zero camber gain is bad, too. So, you should have at least enough camber gain to offset the roll angle of the vehicle and depending upon what tires you use, you probably want more camber gain than that... Think of it this way... if your car rolls 2 degrees and your static camber was -1 degree, what it your camber when your in a roll condition? Ideally, you'd want your roll condition to introduce additional camber, but not too much. Many times static alignment is set to get your roll camber correct (for extreme examples look at fwd touring cars), but if you have appropriate camber gain, you can run less static camber. |
