Unfortunately, I'll be in Utah visiting with friends. Fortunately, he will have just taken delivery of his 2008 GT2

I'll be there, this time with the 997S as updated... First is CVR on 4/24.

Damptronics (Bilstein PSS coil overs for PASM so not 9/10 way adj., just 2 via button), lowered about 20mm, corner weighted and aligned. GT3 sway front, H&R rear, Volk TE37 wheels with 235/305 PSCs.

Previous updates were GT3 Cup control arms, PFC 97 pads, SRF fluid.

Street observations - CG on the car feels much lower than 20mm - I may need a grab bar to help me get out of the car Suspension is definitely tighter, steering is razor sharp now and I'm guessing there won't be massive understeer built into the car any longer. The Cup control arms helped, but I had a relatively moderate alignment last summer / fall with -1.6 degrees camber up front and now it's set at -2.3.

April 24 will be the shake-down... Hopefully on May 1 I'll be up to speed.

What camber front and rear are you running now and what are your sway bar settings (firm or soft?)?

From a thread I started in 997:

GT3 Cup control arms with GT3 air ducts (previously installed).
Damptronics.
Front GT3 adjustable sway bar w/ TRG drop links (oem was too long).
Rear H&R adjustable sway bar (OEM GT3 was not a good fit and required additional parts - H&R was compatible and direct fit).

Suspension alignment settings:
Ride height lowered about 20mm rear, 15mm front for slope of 0.80 degrees.
Camber front -2.3, rear -1.9
Caster front 8 degrees.
Toe front 0.05, rear 0.20.
Corner weight: Left Front 625, Left Rear 1011, 622 Front Right, 998 Front Rear
Total weight: 3256 including 3/4 tank of gas, 165 lb driver

Wheels: Volk 37s in 19x8.5 and 19x11 (new)
