Default Ride heght with PSS10:s on 993Targa

Hello,

Can anyone help me with the ideal ride height for my car with the PSS10:s installed, compared to the RS?

It's to low now, with a tendency that the tail of the car wants to dance/wiggle a bit and some bumper steer.

I want to have it as low as possible thoug,h but with perfect performance of the PSS10:s...

Grateful for some suggestions.

Mavel

IMO that probably has more to do with your alignment, tire pressures and possibly rear sway bar stiffness then it does with right height. Your rebound and damping settings will also affect how surefooted the rear end behaves so perhaps you want to play with those settings first before changing the height.

I have RS hight on my C4S and RS + 10mm on my Cabriolet (both PSS9). Both are perfect and I assume that it is because of the proper alignment.

about 1.25" -1.5" from standard has worked for me.

RS -5mm is good for street use as long as you don't have big curbs or steep driveways to deal with.

I would agree with David, sounds like your alignment needs to be checked. Toe +/- kinematic.
