QUOTE(turboman808 @ Aug 28 2009, 09:46 AM)  Wrote this long thing and then just made a diagram real quick. I need to install the 3d software already. (IMG:http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r283/turboman808/suspensiongeomertycopy.jpg) Great Info here ! Thanks. Based on the diagram and discussion, I would say my suspension looks more stock than lowered...gotta use the floor as a guide, camera is at a slight angle. Thanks to everyone who chimed in, learned a lot. Attached image(s)

Well keep in mind I haven't got a clue what I am talking about. Only what I see happening by looking at the suspension myself. When I go absolutely nuts this winter with my suspension I am still gonna take it to Chris Foley since he has 20 or more years experience with these cars.
I still think this kind of setup is the way to go. Gives a huge range of adjustability (IMG:http://www.vonshocks.com/product/911/front-coilover-doubleshear600.jpg) Since we are talking about toe movement I was intersted if someone could explain what this does. And how would you adjust the rear to control toe movement under load if you wanted to? http://www.patrickmotorsports.com/part/1096/ |

Normally with the slots on the stock suspension, you have to loosen the 3 screws and tap it and then tighten it up an see where you ended up. With that little adjuster link, you can loosen the 3 screws and turn the adjuster to achieve more or less toe and then tighten it up. It would be nice to have if you do wheel alignments often. I don't have it. That's why once I get the rear toe set, I tighten those 3 screws and refuse to loosen them for anybody!!! |
