Hey. I was wondering what the best ride height is for autocross? Also I am AWD. Do you drop it as low as you can go without the tires rubbing or do you wanna keep it a little lowered but not much. I have Tein Type Flex coilovers, front and rear tower brace, Rm sway bars, motor mounts and new bushings for everything. Also I'm not going to adjust my camber I don't have the money for the parts right now. Thanks!
 
Yeah try and get the corner weights so you know how stiff of a spring you need. And yes if you drop it too low the tires will rub in the heavy cornering. (I learned that the hard way)
 
Also, if you are going to be autocrossing, the negetive camber that comes from lowering will actually help increase handling, so I wouldnt buy any camber kits. But you will want to get it aligned to make sure you toe is right.
 
Ok. Its at the shop waiting to be worked on after these 911's get new engines haha. I have them lowering it an inch, check corner weight then the alignment. Next step is new summer rubber and electronic boost controller...
 
So the camber on my car is all over the place because of a wreck I was in a year ago which is why the car is finally getting a new suspension. What should it be set at? Right now it is:

FrLf -1.8 FrRt -0.9
BkLf -2.9 BkRt -2.3
