101 front with a 20mm rake works well on my car using JRZ shocks which are designed around those ride heights. No way this would work on street shocks like the PSS Bilstein kits as you'd be sitting on the bumps tops. Believe it or not, the car rides better with the 600/800 JRZ set up than it did at a higher ride height on both the RUF/PSS9s or the H&R coilovers that were on this car before with much softer spring rates. The JRZs really are a magical shock. After recent track testing it has been recommended to narrow the spring gap front to rear and go with something on the order of 750/850 or 800/900.
I was running -2.2F and -2.0R camber prior to the realignment. The new alignment was based on my track tire wear assessment, driving style, and goals with the car. I did not have any issues with street wear before, as far as I could tell, but I only put about 2k street miles on the car each year so it's hard to tell. I might drive it once on the weekend just so that it doesnt sit. On a RWD platform, front tires see very little wear with a majority of the wear on tbe rears, about a 3:1 ratio on my car. My goal was to maximize track performance with street wear not really a concern. As such, the car was aligned to Cup specs with the camber values obviously on the rather gentle side (for cup cars anyway). I have also noticed that my rear tire wear has improved since going removing all the rubber from the rear and going to full monoball and solid caster pucks. I was getting a lot of toe change under load and that was eating up the inside of the tires. Now that the back end is locked down its a lot better. The car is also much more settled now under hard breaking as the rear can no longer toe out under load. More to come....

Here is a video of the car chasing down a couple of 997 Grand Am Cups at HPR on 08/02/13. Not all that bad for a street legal car driven to the track on NT01s. Too bad the NSX got in the way.. With the new alignment, sway changes, and shock adjustment the car feels much better. The stiff H&R rear sway is on full soft but the car is still oversteering quite a bit. I've since swapped over to the GT3 sways and will be tracking this weekend to further dial it in. Front uprights are going to be swapped over to GT3 Cup uprights which will work much better at my ride height.. I'm pretty happy where we're at with it so far...

I'm digging it, powdr.

Fine tuning on the suspension continues and the times are down to almost 1:58 on NT01s. The rear sway bar was swapped for a GT3 sway and the car is much more progressive and balanced at the limit. Oversteer is very minor and easily controlled. GT3 front Cup uprights are next...

996GT3 Cup front upright jewelry.... This should be the last piece of the puzzle...
