The 911 cannot be corner balanced. Good to know. Thanks.

Wonder why that is now?
Are there new spring seats or adj. collars available?

You could add any number of aftermarket solutions that would allow you to adjust corner heights, like a Bilstein PSS9/10 coilover suspension or a company like ground control could fab up something that would work on the stock shock tube but the base carreras (C2, S, C4, etc) do not have adjusters on the spring perches. The Gt3s do I believe but I haven't seen for myself. If that's the case depending on pick up points you may be able to swap out those parts though not being designed and tested for our geometry I'd be more inclined to go after market.

All that being said, until I have a lot of seat track time in this car I see no reason that it would be necessary for my needs. If you're going to be on the track every weekend or you're going to change the weight drastically and the weight balance (ie strip the interior, add a cage or both) it becomes more important but mine is just a street car that will see some track.

The 997 GT3 guys seem to all love the new Ohlins, which I had on my Elise for a short time. I've also had very good results with Motons on racecars but the streetable versions (rubber bushings and dust covers) like the clubsports get pricey quick and you will spend a lot time and money on chasing the setup. So for me, unless it's going to be raced, I'll keep it stock and drive around compromised setup. First outing will be on PFC 11s and stock Pirellis after that R comps, then we'll see if anything really needs to be upgraded/tweaked.

At the risk of making a silly remark as I have ZERO technical knowledge ... can't you just use shims ?
