Back from Center Gravity

Post by demonfish »

Awesome - like wow - i seriously didnt think it could get better. It was so dialled in before, i knew exactly what it was doing it was brilliant.....

Now the RS steering arms are doing there bit, and installed correctly unlike the old ones, my god - its immense. I got Chris to drop it height wise, as now i feel i can cope with the limited geometry available on that height, he has also taken out some of the understeer I he put in while i got to grips with the car. I can feel the back end moving around a bit more now, but with no loss of grip.

The thing that did amaze me was the tyres - he geo'd it with the track wheels on, and the R888's.... i had softened the shocks off to 3/10 front and 1/10 rear, but on the R888's it feels so firm compared to the Contis.

still need to get some miles on it at some point...

chris has these great new porsche specific mounts to - i'll get some pictures up.

the wevo mounts have made a huge difference, the whole car feels more urgent, power comes in and you can feel it as a positive event... and the car rocks on tickover :D

Great news and thanks for the pics.I am close to buying a 964 now and top of the list of mods will be to
get new shocks/springs and a visit to centre gravity.Do they supply parts as well ( thinkng KW3 )
It was the best mod i did on the 964 turbo by far.
