B16 here.
Initial impressions were horrible after the installation. Bouncy, harsh and noisy.
After setup, corner balance and alignment at @SupremePower it made the world of difference. I cant impress hard enough how important getting the corner weights balanced was to eliminating the bounciness and porpoising of the car. Used the GT3 .2 RS ride height and alignment numbers to start. Understanding that the steering geometry is not identical to the Carrera's, it was a good place to start all other things considered.
The integration with PASM is important to me. Soft on the daily commute, and sporty when you want it to be.
Really happy with the quality and performance.
*** get a proper corner balance ***
Is that the stance with the B16? My car is much lower than that.
Yes, that's the height I adjusted too. I do not want it any lower.
I suppose if I raise mine to that level it'll ride much better but I've gotten used to how low mine is and just cant get over the look. Raising it up a tad today to see if it makes a difference. Do you think your car will ride the same if you lowered it another 1/2" or so?
Yes, that's the height I adjusted too. I do not want it any lower.
Would you please measure the height from floor to fender on both front and rear. I just had mine raised, it looks much like yours and measures 27.5" rear 27" front. From the short ride home it felt like an improvement in ride quality.
quick update: After driving the car at the new height for about a week I can say the ride quality is a world of difference. I would say the car was raised roughly 3/8" or so, doesn't look as "slammed" as before and not as good to me but rides very nice. I still may go the B16 route if I know that it can be lower with as good of a ride but for now i'm happy with the setup.
