Anyone with experience running PSS10s at the track? I'll heading up to Thunderhill for a 2 day HPDE in a couple weeks, and would like to see what people have run up there.

I currently have the PSS10s set at 4's all the way around for street driving. I'll be running street tires (stock sizes for a C2S) at the track. What's a good initial setting for the track (esp Thunderhill)?

I just posted the same question several days ago and most people responded most firm in the rear and a couple of notches softer on the fronts.

I run them at full stiff on the street.

I hope the roads in your area are smooth, since I found that 6 was a bit too harsh for me here on the street.

My point is that PSS9's and 10's are a street and light track suspension. Put them at full stiff for the track. You're going to be on street tires, and I gather this'll be your first time on the track. You're going to have a great time and learn a lot about your car -- don't sweat the small stuff, like fine-tuning your suspension. Put 'em at full stiff and have fun.

I've done quite a few track days and I usually run solo, but I have not driven the 993 on a track. I'm eager to find out how the car's going to handle at the track...

Oh sweet, please post your impressions afterward. Have fun!

still seems a little soft for the track, for the street 5 was too rough. Overall PSS10 are just okay. I don't have a recommendation on anything better, its just okay overall. Car does not have bigger sway bars, I will try that next.

On my 9s on my tt, I run 3 front and 1 rear on the street and track.

I find this setting for the street to be not harsh at all, and these are NYC streets, but sometimes lacking on the track.

But bear in mind that suspension settings are so so subjective.

One's man soft is another's hard...

So its best to try several combination of settings and see what works for a particular driver on a particular car.

I forgot to post my impressions after the event until somebody bumped this thread....

Well I had the PSS10s set to 8's all around at Thunderhill, but I didn't play around with it much more since the track was new to me. I certainly could have gone to full stiff, which is probably what I'll do when I go to Infineon next month. I think thicker sway bars would help, but unless you switch out the rubber bushings and mounts for monoballs, it's always going to be too soft for the track.
