too low? what's that? it looks good, if it drives nice and doesn't ride bad then leave it alone.

What Did You Do ???? Open The Teener Up....

too high in front, too low in back. Looks like your rake is in the wrong direction.

you want to set your front a-arms just less that parallel to the road, biased toward the longer adjustment. Then set the rear to have a slight rake forward.

This is a baseline. Adjust for handling traits depending on course or track.

Mark, have you measured your conner weights?
In the picture, it looks as if your front is to high compared to the ride height of the rear.

Sorry for the hi-jack :)

I like the idea of setting the ride hight based on the A-arm position. So the A-arm should be JUST on low side of parallel, correct?

Could you measure the angle of the A-arms to compare sides to insure they are the same? I have a hard time measuring from the ground up to the same point on both sides to verify the sides are the same height. Seems like the angles would be easier to measure and compare

Thanks SmileWavy

Thanks guys for all of you help. About 3 years ago I put 911S koni's and S calipers on a Carrera front set up. I set the toe by tape messure and left the tops the way they were. I also put yellow koni's all the way around with adjustable rear preload collars and nuts. The rear is a little higher then the front, maybe 1/2 inch. I did raise it before this picture. Next will be drop the front more,corner balance,rake or caster and adjust to track.Thanks again I will get to adjusting.


And yes, I did open up the teener in front of the swapmeet. I was giving Acox914 a ride. Thanks Mark
