David just finished a new update on the Porsche project. Replacing tie rods, making alignment changes, and a little bit of lowering combine to make this a noticeable upgrade both behind the wheel and from curbside.
I don't care who you ask, that's a sexy looking car.

Are those alignment specs unladen or with David or his weight equivalent in the drivers seat? If unladen I bet the camber gets a bit more even side to side with the driver.
That's unladen, but it's a bit offset to compensate for road crown. It does go down the road nicely.
Tom- thanks for helping me utilize more time that could have been spent working an actual job.

Oh, I bet it does!
It drove nicely before, but now it drives really, really nicely. In fact, today I called Geoff to thank him for that alignment.
Coming up next: a little more suspension work. There's still some work to be done. I need to schedule some dyno time soon, too.
6's up front and 7's in the back? I love the ducktail, but for the life of me can't figure out why...hahaha.
What suspension stuff are you planning?
Jay at Ground Control has some neat ideas for shocks, especially the fronts. It's not an off-the-shelf solution, but it will be something neat that anyone else can order.

Saw this at the challenge hotel - Verrry nice
How much camber was there with 1" of lowering?
I used to run my E30 at -2.5° camber on the street.

I need to check my notes. Going too low also tends to ram that front spoiler into things.
