I installed a set of adjustable toe arms on my rear tires a few thousand miles ago. The car drives better and I am noticing less tire wear. I bought mine from Tarrett Enginering but I think Board sponsor Deluboz sells them also





I love my suspension! Yes I come from a long line of slammmmmed cars its not low enough until you cant barely drive it. .....Rides good! Just cant pull into my driveway from the left at over 5mph or Ill pull the left front fender off.

Might be some pics at my clubs myspace site TC Echelon or TCECHELON.COM




I looked at your clubs site and the pictures appear to be prior to lowering the car.
Do you have any with the car lowered?





About bump stops on factory type suspension they are external and made of a hard foam usually orangish. Most performance suspensions have them internally and no you probably wont hear it if you hit it. It will feel like the suspension stopped moving downward abruptly and your car will basicly launch into the air. While your body feels sharp spine compaction and your kiddneys and organs go whoah! or something like that.

Your final paragraph describes my issue.
I have adjustable dampening on my coilovers, as of now they are in the soft setting, would firming the dampening fix this? Make it better? or Gary get those things off of your car?

I think I will try firming them a couple of clicks and see how that does.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.
