I’m with you. We are saying the same things. But, we disagree.
As far as Porsche making the car suit the masses. I say no way. It’s a Porsche not a Cadillac sorry Mercedes. They build it the way they want it and if you don’t like it they don’t care. It is a purposeful built car. I feel optimized. So I believe you can only lower the car so much. And that’s not much. That’s why we go with raised spindles to maximize it. I know that might not be enough for everyone.
The 911 suspension is basic and so simple. The point where the top of the strut mounts is fixed can’t change it. The t-bar is fixed as well it is where it is. The only thing that can be changed is raising or lowering the ball joint the only thing you can adjust. The distance from the ball joint to the top of the strut I will call “x” that’s what changes how for the strut can compress is fixed I know tire size influence it but a is also fixed. If you set the car up with the 108 “c” measurement and the only thing you change is the spindle placement. In my case raising them 19mm. A will stay the same x will stay the same. “C” will increase by 19mm and b will decrease by 19mm. Moving the chassis down bringing the wheel well down and closer to the top of the tire lowering the car 19mm. Inside that 108 “c” you could go to the +5mm range so make “c” 113mm that’s the max. So for me 19mm plus the extra 5mm means you can only lower a 911 24mm. An inch is a lot on my car. I think the reason Porsche sets a maximum “c” measurement of 124mm when loaded when 100lbs at the strut. Is to keep the geometry of the suspension. Again I think Porsche new what they were doing. Now sure you can absolutely lower the car more. And you can compensate for anything. I 100% say make it they way you want it. Yep you are the only one that you need to make happy.
Am I right? Maybe. Are you right? Maybe. But isn’t that the brilliance?
I appreciate all of your input. Thanks
