Guys,

Are 911's (996 Facelift) particularly susceptible to cross winds? I have an M030 car and it is generally "nervous" with that setup and does like to follow ridges/undulations etc on poor roads (but great turn in), but is it a general 911 trait for then to walk slightly side/side in cross winds?

On another note is it worth taking my car to Parr for a road setup or is this really only worth doing on GT3/RS?

Cheers!

I'm considering swapping out my standard suspension for M030 stuff. Maybe we could come to an arrangement

I've noticed a bit of tramlining but no problems with crosswinds.

Mine did until i changed the tyres!!

I was running Pirelli P Zeros which, it seems, have a soft sidewall which makes them susceptable to tramlining and strong crosswinds.

I do not notice the problem with the Sport Pilots I am now running

Nah I love my M030, the fidgeting is fine, just the cross winds thing thats a bit odd compared to other modern cars. I'm assuming it's down to the "1950's" aerodynamics more than anything - ?
