The specs I have are different.

US 175+/- 10mm front on all turbos unfortunately

The RoW 3.3 set at 165mm +/- 10mm
The RoW 3.6 set at 155mm+/- 5mm
RoW TSL should be 125mm +/-5mm

For the rears I have

US 280mm +/- 5mm

The Row 3.3 set at 270mm +/- 5mm
The Row 3.6 set at 260mm +/- 5mm
the Row TSL set at 218mm +/- 5mm

All US spec turbos were identical including the flachbau.

US got stuck with the 4x4 look due to the 5mph bumper laws.

thanks a lot !

TSL had some suspension modification on the rear to run so low ?

these are the 3.3 TS aka Lichtbau parts list, ride height is only posted as 40mm lower than regular RoW 3.3T

the struts/shocks aren't the same as RS or Cup thought the ride height is, I didn't look it up but they probably come from a 964 RSR or 3.8RS




here are the alignment specs for 3.3T and 3.6T Flachbau is the same as 3.6t

That info would corroborate my numbers for the US cars but the info appears to be incorrect for the RoW 3.6T. I have seen RoW 3.6T's come in at the numbers I noted. Other sources I have says it should be 10mm higher than the documents you posted. However the spec book uses the numbers you posted. AFAIK they were only 20mm lower than US spec not 30mm. It is possible there is confusion over if it was 20mm lower than US spec or 20mm lower than RoW 3.3T spec.

It would appear the TSL used the same setup as the RoW 3.6RS. The part numbers for the shocks and springs are the same although the new superseded version ends in 81 vs 80.

These are the shocks and springs I just installed in the US spec cup car and the settings would put it at 40mm lower than the RoW 3.3T.








So clearly the TSL and RoW Carrera 3.6 RS shared all the same suspension components.

My car is set at 155mm F and 250mm rear. My car sits about the same as this original RoW 3.6T. When I went 10mm lower it was a very different gap between the wheel wells and tires. I am also not aware of the TSL having 235 front tires vs the rest of the 3.6T's with same wheels that ran 225's up front. Maybe Carlos can chime in on that. That would put the rolling dia over .7" different than what they ran on the 3.6T's and flachbau's .



This is an original RoW 3.6T seems to me the ride height is quite similar and if anything higher than my car.

Interestingly the springs for sale around the world I can find are for the US spec 94 turbo and not the RoW version. The springs are what lowered the cars ride height.

👍

I need to measure my car again, cant believe its 126mm front, it looks like more....
