I understand that
Modifying a 911 a juggling act w/ multiple balls in the air that all need to be accommodated
bump steer
jacking/packing
scrub radius
shock curves
spring rates
wheel width
intended use
the factory did a pretty good job of getting these cars into a nice ballpark, owners can bias them to a particular purpose but should be cautious about going too far.

If a little is good, then a lot must be better. Is not true here.
