Book yourself into Centre Gravity for one of their health checks. They will sort it out very quickly. There are a LOT of adjustments you can make to these cars, and if they are mis adjusted, they can feel downright lethal to drive. If you have any suspension issues, they will be found out. Don't go to an OPC, their "OE settings", can be ok, but the car still be all over the road, these cars need a specialist set up.

2006 Porsche C4S Twitchy/Unstable at high (motorway) speeds
- Thread starter Piranha--
- Start date
I would be doing as suggested and seeing what centre gravity had to say as what you describing is not how it should be, is it all stock no added spoilers etc as when I had my front aero kit bumper and lip on but not the aero kit rear spoiler as it was getting painted , the car was exactly how you described.

Interesting read I have sent a PM to Piranha to find out the outcome on his problem.
I have to say that having a 996 GT3 the front also feels a little light at speed but put this down to the type of car it is. Mine is set up for fast road/track so that probably exacerbates the feeling.
I think coming from any other car the Porsche is bound to feel very different at speed and more communicative. Not sure how much difference there is with a 997 although obviously there are a few more aids.

I had the pleasure of spending a day under the car on the ramp at Centre Gravity recently and they measure everything. Porsches settle, especially at the front which results in toe out and lots of camber. Great for cornering but twitchy as hell if there's even a slight rut to follow in a straight line as the front wheels are effectively hunting for anywhere else to go I.e. Not straight on...
Mine has dropped 18mm on the front so its now GT2 height. It had also destroyed one bump stop. They straightened the wheels and had a play with the camber. Different car... I don't know how good all the various machines are but the guys' in CofG definitely does the trick.
They're good guys too. Very informative.

An old thread I know but was there an update on what it was. Mine is the same. Going to check suspension mounts first then other suggested areas before the long haul to Centre Gravity.
