I am extremely happy, its been a year since I've owned this car and now its "perfect"

It appears the stupid folks at the dealership had the timing set advanced at +12 and now its at +3 and when you shut off the engine it sounds smooth. The dealership even cant follow the book guidelines.

The car needs final detailing and then the "Turbo 3.6" logo gets installed and I pick it up tomorrow for the car to be taken to Michelin for a allignment. I opted for RS spec settings but it appears to be too low "stance nation" in my cars case. I'll get it aligned dial out the front negative camber and want some negative camber in the rear.

I might have the front raised by 1cm and the rear 2 cm.

Today the Bilstein PSS10 are installed, they look awesome there peaking out the brake discs.

Your car is sitting far below RS height. The ride will suck as there isn't any suspension travel left at that height.

Going to raise it

Way to low

Just trying to dissuade you in case you were having second thoughts.
RS height is the sweet spot, both functionally and aesthetically, IMO.

MeanMachine

Thanks, will try my best to achieve that.

don't forget to corner balance

I just did shocks and eibach springs on mine (Koni FSD) RS is way too low for here. I ended up at 20mm below euro height and it works very well. 145mm if I recall Standard is 165.

Is your motor stock? What timing are you referring too and how is it adjusted? I'm assuming you're talking about spark and not CAM timing.

Not cam timing

If the distributor is removed and re-installed at the wrong spot the timing will be off. The rotor has to align with the notch on the distributor body when #1 cylinder is at top dead center. I believe the spec is <0> +/- 3 degrees.

I am at the garage awaiting to take my car raised the suspension

MeanMachine

Here is how it sits currently, need to align the car and dial out the negative camber upfront and see how it will rise.

MeanMachine

The front will be higher with the new alignment.

I like how the rear sits.

Settings on 7 on PSS10, not sure if its the stiffest.

You set the ride height first, then corner balance, then align.
