Default 2010 gt3 ride hyt, corner balance,alignment

On our cars is their a lower european ride hyt spec. or are all production GT3s the same? Can you lower these cars to improve the handling? How much? What is the correct order #1 check ride Hyt, #2 alignment, #3 corner balance? Do Sway bars need to be disconected for part or all of process?

Best Regards,

1) Set height
2) Corner Balance
3) Align

In that order. Technically if your alignment is WAY off you could change the corner balance figures slightly when changing the alignment so if you're trying to be really really exact about it re-check #2 and #3 after you've first completed.

sway bars disconnected for corner balance. Set sway preload when you hook them back up. Drop link collars spin on the coilovers to adjust preload if you don't have adjustable drop links.

When corner balancing make small adjustments at all 4 corners each time so as to not throw off ride heights as much.

This balance / alignment has been working well for me. I don't have the ride height data.

Ballast 180lbs

LF 629 RF 629
LR 1109 RR 986

F Toe 1mm out Camber 2.5
R Toe 4mm in Camber 2.5

Front sway : 1 from soft
Rear sway : 1 from hard

I also set my wing to the max possible angle.
