Camber for mix track/street use

Anyone have recommendation for a good camber settings for day-to-day street use and 3-5 track days/year in a 991 with no options (no PDCC, no SPASM, etc) and OEM 20" wheels.

Anyone also adjust their toe and caster?

Thanks!

Max out your front negative camber, don't make too much more negative in the back (I certainly wouldn't go more that Front camber -1). I don't think you can do that much with castor, and I'd go with stock or 0 toe in the front, keeping rear toe stock.

I don't think you can get much more than -1 camber on non-spasm car in the front.

Tire wear has been very even on my car, especially after track use. My camber is stock at the moment. I don't think you can get much more camber out of the car, especially in the front with out adding plates. So not sure if getting an alignment done will be worth the $$$$.
Im using the OEM 20s for now for both street and track duty.

SPASM, no PDCC.

Another 991 owner/member that has SPASM has also found the car is gentle on tires, he has a lot of track time on it.

After 2 days at Watkins Glen, the tires looked great.

I got 14 track days (and a total of about 14,000kms) out of my PZeroes. I've got SPASM but no PDCC, and found the wear to be surprisingly even.

Getting an alignment with the stock suspension bits is not worth it (trust me, I've been there). Because the suspension bits are all fixed, there is only a very small amount of adjustment available. I would like to add a bit more negative camber to the rear (I think the fronts are fine), but will wait until some adjustable camber and toe arms come out.

I was able to get -1.4 in the front, which is .5 degrees more than stock. I think that with time as springs settle a bit, you can get closer to two.

thanks guys!

my first track day a The Ridge running stock had quite a bit of wear on the outside tire. my instructor and other trackies around agreed that keeping stock camber wouldn't be good.

sounds like this isn't a big problem with SPASM. i'll try to get something beyond -1 if possible on stock suspension, shooting for -1.4 like SxxB.
