Hi Ian, hope you are well? 32Front and 38rear (cold) worked best on that car when I had the suspension and geo done originally.

Yes Porsche pressures are that high and are expressly stated in the manual as minimums! Ie no lower than these. Yet the ride is very much harsher at these levels for everyday use and as far as I recall, there is a lot of centre tread wear, especially on the rears. So I run 32 front 36 rear and sometimes adjust the front according to how I want the steering to feel. I run a 996 c2.

next march Marcus ;-)...I'll be requiring your services but will contact you separately on that.

Hi Simon ,sounds like your going to put the turbo thru it's paces ,a few lessons with Marcus first sounds like a good idea .
I was thinking the same until the heating st the bed so new boiler etc has to come first according to the misses although I dint see why ? How cold can it get ?
Put me down for a passenger ride when your ready for it
