Default Rear end bounce advice....

Alright, I'll chime in here......My car is NON pasm with H%R lowering springs and a much more aggressive alignment done by a Porsche suspension specialist....

I have felt the same thing as well with aggressive cornering around town with PSM on.......With sport chrono in sport mode and psm off i dont feel it do that at all.

I had an ex-pro Porsche driver drive my car at our autocross and he said that my car hooked up and was way easier to throttle steer than another PASM car with stock suspension set up.

We were at 10 10ths around an auto x track that you can hit 90mph at....He had the back end in and out at will and pretty much throttle steered around most of the track. I was in awe of what my car can do in the hands of a pro. No rear end bounce at all.........

Moral of the story here: get your cars alignment done by a pro so you get rid of the crappy set up from the factory. I feel that at stock ride height and psm on you will get alot more of the bounce like they said in the mag....

Hope that helps!

rs997 - which H&R springs are you using? I am thinking of getting some but haven't got a clue as to which ones to get. Also, how many mm is you car lowered with the new springs?

rss997, how does having the psm off help with rear end bounce? I have sport chrono as well. Please inform. Thanks.

It seems like that with it on, when it kicks in you get a skip feeling. With it off the rear end just breaks loose and i dont get that hop or skip feeling...
