I never like green on a car especially on a Porsche...but now I am truly silenced.

Sorry Duke, I think your new headlamps look silly. I liked the previous version so much more:

Wow. That's practically a green 924 GTR. The stance is just stunning!

Very pretty color! Is that polisher a Cyclo? I have one myself but it's all aluminum. I've never seen plastic.

I run -2.2 on my track car rear and get perfect wear and temps on R6's which like plenty of negative. Why are you running so much negative? What tires and wear do you get

There's a lot of parameters that comes into play. Weight, spring rates, tire type etc.
Have you analyzed any pictures of your car in corner?
With perfect temps and wear do you mean uniform, or do you mean with a slightly higher inside temp and wear? IMHO perfect uniform temp readings means not enough camber.
Most tire manufacturers recommend more camber than -2.2.


Here's 2 auto-x pics, as can be seen the camber really comes into play.
18" Bridgestone RE540S tires, Bilstein Turbo Cup 450/650 lbs springs, 968 M030 sway bars, solid bushings etc.

Oh and thanks for the compliments!
Regarding the headlights - I agree - the car looks better with the stock headlights. But I didn't switch for looks.
The machine is a cyclo copy (around $50)

Rainforest green, a color that came with the 996.
