i have got pss9 billies on my 99t scoob but even after 150 quids worth of setting up she handles like a bitch not sure what no`s they should be on setting wise please help loosing the plot

tath

what did you set it to? do a search on here for whiteline or prodrive settings. From memory, something like 1.5deg neg camber front, as much as you can evenly get rear (up to 2deg i think), no front toe, and 1mm rear out.

Might help if you describe handling like a bitch. I've got PS9 on mine and they worked well on the track but on the road were too nervous. I think the rears are at fault. I use the whiteline settings (race) with negative camber bolts and adjustable rear bottom arms. Not raced the car for over a year mind

she is skittish the front end seems loose the back end lets go easily and not very compliant i have had the alignment checked and it matches the whiteline settings to the letter it may help if i explain what chassis work has been done

22mm whiteline anti roll bars front and back
whiteline rear drop links
anti lift kit
uprated bushes all round
bumpsteer mod power station done before coilovers fitted
pss9 coilovers (front set to 3 rears set to 3) but have tried every setting possible
also had the ride hieght set from low to high and medium now on medium

when driving along at say 30mph in town the front "bobbles" for want of a better word like a bloody milk float
and the tyres seem to ware ok

the ride is ok a bit harder than the wr sport kit the car came with tbh i should have stuck with the prodrive kit but i was led to believe the difference would be biblical not seen it yet i am going to have to get powerstation to get it sorted they are the best out there in my opinion for chassis work i drove there white sti with this kit on prior to the ast movement that car was like a gocart

any advice would be appreciated i have spent near 50k on this motor and am trying to get it finished but pennies are getting short and wedding bells are looming gulp!!

also when you raise boost to 1.5 and gun it the car shoots tramlines right with the torque this i am told is down to set up of the shockers ??? any ideas folks loosing the will to live

I see you're in Cheltenham so you can probably see http://www.powerstation.org.uk/ from where you're sitting. Problem solved

I'm not a fan of the low speed handling and mine does not inspire confidence on bumpy roads, but once on the track it seems to work well.

If the AST had been around then I would not have bought the Bilsteins

911

Take it to Powerstation.

The damping is not in line with the spring rates.
Torque steer?

I have a similar suspension to you but with superb AST's and 407 bhp x 380 lbft and zero torque steer.
Something loose down there?

another reason to treat yourself to a morning with Powerstation, Andy or Curtis.

job done.

He/car was beaten by an Evo (and a 25 year old sunbeam). Have a read of Graham's thread in projects

911

Thanks Mark!

Sorry Graham didn't think you would come back to this. I'm confident that your performance will improve.

May be you and the car need somthing new, try a sprint, car might be better suited away from the tight bends and steep hills etc

911

I've over it now.

The upset is really the Lotus Sunbeam.
600Kg and an all-steel 2.6 on slicks.

The driver is 35 years old and raced serious motorbikes untill he fell off about 4 years ago, so he walks on water too!

The EVO is simply a target!

Do you know the rates? and was it mainly the rears at fault?

stevet350

unsure on the spring rates mate they wer changed for some mildly softer eibach items and all 4 wheels were out of line i once drove a 911 and the car now feels just like that by way of exact steering no understeer at all i am now wearing gods slippers when i drive the car and the point were she starts to let go is massively different thats what i have been waiting for all i need now are some big stoppers and its finished will be going down the ap 6 pot route
