I tried looking for this locating bore, but I'm not sure what it is. Can anyone explain, or better yet, provide a pic?

As for the front, Porsche says the bottom edge of a bolt head on the tension strut. I am also having trouble interpretting this!

I'll be installing PSS9's soon, and would need to know this before I get it done.

Thanks.

I have the problem too. My front passenger side is 1/2 inch higher than the driver side. Rears are ok. No matter how I adjust the PSS10 on the passenger side, the gap between the tire and fender seems unchanged and is still larger. It drives me crazy!

Cool

May sound like a dumb question......but you are adjusting it with both rear wheels off the ground?

Will not work if jacking up one side and then the other due to swaybar pre-load.

When I drove the car like this around the block it felt pretty darn unpredictable and unnerving so I reset it and re-aligned

I guess my question is, do you have one side with couple inches of thread left (drivers side) and the other (passenger) set nearly at the bottom?

It seems like this same problem has happened at least to a handful of people out there with tt's and C4's, seemingly always the driver side is lower.. There has to be something to it..

btw, boca - your car looks great
best,
rb
