Going from 15mm to 16mm rear bar (29% stiffer) isn't going to hurt anything and is just about the easiest/cheapest thing to do. Also not likely to help if the issue is really front bump travel and being on the outside bumpstop midcorner...

@ Went ahead and measured my center of wheel to fender and ended up with these heights. Are these too tall? Leading to too little droop travel?

Gotcha. So I got it corner balanced to follow my heights of 140mm front and around 145-155mm rear. That’s from floor to pinch weld. Wondering if it makes sense to just leave it as is for now, what would you recommend? Corner balanced weights attached. Since the rear was raised to get my cross weights correct.

My height with issues (center hub to fender): Front 13 1/4" Rear 14 1/4" My height after lowering and allowing more droop travel (drives great now): Front 12 3/4" ("one finger gap") Rear 13 1/4" ("two finger gap") It sounds like you're literally 2" too high in the front and at least an 1" in the rear.

You might run it as it is and assess the handling situation, then lower all four corners about 12mm or 1/2" and see what that does to handling and balance, and go from there. |

Yeah, my plan is probably to run it as is. Then make adjustments. Since technically I still haven’t ran it yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Vorshlag vs RCE/KW camber plates won't make a huge difference in height between the two, comparing the two setups in terms of height should be very much the same.

949’s ride height suggestions have a lot to do with their damper design droop/bump lengths, it shouldn’t be gospel, but I think it’s a great starting point.
@Spuds do you have the big oem tapered bolt in the upper hole of your strut? You have to use some level of camber bolt, even just the smaller oe bottom bolt to get past -4 degrees of camber even when the struts are slotted. |
