Realignment again

After a great summer of driving, I hear snow is on the way to Wisconsin. I'm planning on a few things to service...including redoing the alignment after driving the crappy roads in the area.

Any comments about the following specs?

Front:
camber -0.9
all else stock configuration range

Rear:
camber -1.9
toe 0 (a little out of range)
all else stock configuration range

Any comments?

-1.9 on the rear is going to wear the insides of the tires very quickly. I run -1.6 and already am down to the wear bars on the inner blocks with 5/32 left on the outers

Thanks. I was hoping you'd reply. The advice you gave on your previous posts regarding your alignment and springs was really helpful.

If I back off on the camber, will leaving the toe on the rears near 0/neutral help with the squirrely feeling when I accelerate through corners?

I was told we still need about 16 minutes of positive toe (out) per side in the rear. Dynamically under acceleration, the rear wheels will try to toe-in, and if you start with static zero toe under accel you will actually be toe-in

Hi! Does anyone here have the original Porsche (OEM) wheel alignment specs for the 997 turbo?

Thanks!
