I think I have a 1" rear spacer on the bottom of my spring. I would like to take it out to make my car have less rake. My question is how much camber change will 1 in of lowering make? Thanks

May just be the wheel in the gutter, but looks like a teeny little bit of camber on the rear there already.
Speaking of lowering, I was going to lower my car all around 1-1&1/2". Fronts' easy. I called a very knowledgable very reputable NW Porsche place about the rear and they said "I think you just cut the springs" . . I'm a little suspiciuos about that, and was suprised to hear them say it. Adjustable spring perches right? I have an old ( old timewise but pretty new mileage wise) receipt for new shocks and 150 lbs springs that came with my car. . .any advice on this next project for me? TIA R O |
