Recently upgraded from X73? to PSS10's and JIC adjustable upper rear control arms. Had my mechanic setup the rears with a lot less camber than the old setup that was on the car, as it was chewing the tires and rode like crap imo.

Looking for a good shop to tune the suspension for DE's and back to street trim and so forth. Any recomendation from the local crew would be much appreciated.

The PSS10's are awesome BTW, I love this car now!

 

i would call Akram @ MotorWerks, but I know he's finishing up with my suspension, now.

it will probably be a couple weeks b4 he can get you in. It will definitely be worth the wait!

 

Give Mike a call at bartuning......real smart guy.

Ask for Steve Ott at Driversource in Houston...

 

Yep Mike is a smart guy and a good friend of mine, he's the one who installed the suspension and does all my work, but he doesn't do alignments he subs that out.

Looking for someone well versed in performance suspension tuning for P cars. Friend of mine suggested Protechnik or Tracktime performance?

Steve subs it out.

 

Are you looking for race setup or street?

 

if memory serves right akram does his own alignments but has to use a alignment machine offsite since he doesn't have one in his shop.

 

I guess I'm looking for both, set it up for race days and then back to street trim. I was even hoping I could mark off the two settings on the adjusting points and swap back and forth in my driveway after it was dialed in once.

That was my theory supporting buying adjustable coilovers anyway.lol

 

I don't think that's really possible on these modern 911s, but good luck with it. I would refer you to see Don Irby at Porsche West Houston to get your car setup correctly. Rennsport in Sealy is a well known shop, but I don't know if he is still in business, possibly retired. You could also send the car up to RAC in Dallas, they do very good work. For hardcore race applications there are other options, though not open to the public.

 

Wolk,

The only way to do that with your suspension is to purchase coilovers. They can be adjusted back and forth (street and track) in your driveway, provided you have a proper car lift in your driveway.

The alignment, has to go to an alignment shop to be adjusted for track. Then when you are done with the track, taken back to the alignment shop to be adjusted back to street.

Track alignment is absolutely crucial to being able to turn good lap times. The problem with a track-oriented alignment is that it will destroy the inner tread of your tires on the street in a very short time.

I have fully adjustable coilovers on my car. Since we are presently developing it for the Texas Mile, we are running a very straight alignment to make the car track nicely in a straight line. I presently have to sacrifice performance in the turns to achieve this performance.

After the Mile, I will adjust the alignment for my next track day and go "tear it up" on the track.

After the track, I will put the alignment back to street and go picking on the "big cars" on the street.

Of course, it is $100-$150 every time I make the adjustment, but this is not a poor man's game, either.

 

Steve I am surprised you didn't stall that RT12 driving it that slow yesterday.

 

Paulie is the only one that drives 20 under the speed limit. He doesn't want to break any laws because at his age they are already trying take away his license! LOL!!!

 

Steve I will stop by to help with Powell's car this afternoon.

 

I'm not worried Paul doesn't even know the difference between a Flat Head and a Phillips. I'm not to worried!
