Something to keep in mind for everyone w/ H&R's
911's come from the factory with adjustable ride height on all four corners. A very important aspect of Porsche suspension tuning is corner balancing. This is when you adjust the ride height on each corner to balance the car out. Now you can't shift weight distribution (front to rear), but you can even out overall balance. Think of it like a chair with two short legs (on opposite corners). The chair may appear level, but it is teetering on the two long legs. A Porsche 911 with two opposite corners more loaded may appear level, but is off balance. This seriously affects handling. They fix this by putting it on a scale that measures weight at each wheel and make it so right/front+left/rear=left/front+right/rear. By raising one wheel, you increase the load and decrease the load on the opposing corner. The end result will usually make the car level AND balanced. Since you guys have adjustable ride height only on the front, the chances of having one set of opposite corners loaded is less likely, and the corner balancing will be harder to do, but it is still probably a good idea to have it done. It is still possible to have one front corner more loaded than the other, and if the car has more weight in one corner, it may appear level, but be off. Just something to keep in mind.
