excuse me!!!!!!
if your post was referring to my initial question as topic starter then it had nothing to do with corner balancing or set up in terms of sways etc as you will see if you read it and that it went down a totally other avenue is part of the organic nature of internet forums.
its pretty well self explanatory that any change in suspension creates a change in all other measurements and thus if these should be fixed then they require a reset but thanks for sharing that pearl in such a concise and educational way.

since you seem unable to scroll upwards, i was curious to see if there were any owners on here who used both directions available on their adjustable suspension height range rather than just the common lowering given that that is precisely what its there for. seeing some GT3 cars running at heights higher than regular got me thinking about how seldom its discussed here and yet how equally valid it is in terms of performance. i had hoped to get some discourse going about the trend of setting increasingly aggressive track geometry for what amounts to street driving when motorsport cars running competetively in the same environment had the exact opposite, hopefully getting some input from those who run cars in this way.

although I don't have a GT3 ......I can say that from a pure aesthetic standpoint, I wouldn't raise it above stock ride height. Just wouldn't look right. Plus, in general the lower the cg the better...I'd lower it about 10mm, add some more negative camber and enjoy.

Unless you go to the track, paying for corner weighting is really a waste of money, you'll never be able to realize the benefit on the street. On track, it's a completey different story.

Here is my car at -15mm and -20mm respectively. I left it at -15mm because my front-lip would scrape everything at -20mm. The extra few mm lets me clear most driveways if I enter on an angle:

As all the replies here mentioned lowering, I would like to revive this thread and go back to the original quesion - does anyone know if ride height can be increased? On most photos of rally GT3's you can see that that they are not only higher, but also have a differnt front end. Like here... http://www.flickr.com/photos/eplusm/4523619487/

I'm also thinking that this could be a good option for the streets... even at stock settings the GT3 is lower than just about anything else out there so half an inch or so should not screw up the aerodynamics or anything like that.
