Default PSS9/10 Owners: What settings do you run?

I have a set of PSS10's installed on my 99' 996. About 25k miles on them.

The car is for pleasure as well as occasional road trips and "spirited drives".

Just curious what settings and parameters (ride height, camber, and/or stiffness) you run with the suspension setup, be it on the track, road, or whatever.

GT2, GT3, Turbo, or other/custom?

Or if you have other adjustable coilovers please chime in!

Summer Daily/Spirited: F-6 / R-8 (Sway F-middle / R-stiffest)

Summer High-Speed Track: F-9 / R-10 (Sway F-middle / R-stiffest)
Summer "Tight" Track: F-8 / R-10 (Sway F-middle / R-stiffest)


Height & Alignment = GT3 Street Specs (sorry, don't know them, but it was done by a GT3 "expert" tech)
...lowered about an inch.
...maximum settings without changing drop links, toe links, control arms, etc.

I am just getting use to my PSS9's on my 2000 C4. They are set mid way - 5 both front & rear. Ride height is 25" front and 25.5 rear to the fender center wheel lip. The low speed street ride is very firm on poor streets - but smooth and comfortable on the highway at speed. I just tried my first Autocross and found the C4 to be very stable in slalom transition and seemed well balanced frt/rear. My instructor commented on the firm yet compliant setup of the C4.

Full soft or full hard right now. The notches are not that easy to feel so can't screw that up on PSS9s until the lift is in place for more detailed adjustments.
