Default Ride Height

I think the stock ride height for a 996 GT3 (US Version) is like 115mm front and like 128mm rear.

I am getting ready to install a set of Motons on my car and am wondering what the consensus here is about lowering to an optimum ride height front and rear.

I was thinking 90mm front and 115mm rear (someone told me that was optimum).

I have fully adjustable dog bones and toe links (RSS).

Any help/guidance for an amateur like me is appreciated!!

90 is real low on a stock upright, requires a good bit of bump steer correction. I believe your car is track only but at 90 you will scrape the front on everything.

I'm at 103/123 and still have a good deal of bump steer spacers on my toe rod ends and still scrape on a lot but I drive mine on the street too

My personal opinion is go around 100 front and the. Put whatever take you want in there to get the rear value.

I've always been told 20-30mm of rake and always followed that guide but see lots of cups in person that appear to have almost negative rake in them. I like the way my car drives and so I leave it alone.

I'm at 96/120 on this chassis with JRZ Pros and 245/40 and 315/35 tires. Works great...
