"Performance" Alignment for Stock Suspension

What's up guys.


My car's suspension/alignment is 100% stock now. Appears from my eyeball that the front wheels/tires are running close to zero camber and the rears maybe neg 1.0 to 1.3.


I would presume I can dial in better turn-in with some more neg camber up front. I read from some other threads that the max I can go is neg 1.0 degrees front which isn't much but has to be better than stock.


Anyone have full alignment specs (camber, toe, etc) that worked a lot better for the factory 997.2 TTS set up?


Thanks.

you can do what i did. max out front and rear camber (front is something like 1.1-1.2), rear you should be able to get close to 2 degrees). if youre looking for a responsive type of feel, you want toe out. try 2mm up front (1 and 1 each side).. see how you like that feel. the rear should be toe in. this will cause the front to respond quicker.
i would suggest you get sway bars front and rear, they make a bigger difference than springs.

do you have an lsd ? that will make a difference on how much rear toe you should dial in/out (for stability under braking)

Eventually I'm going to do coils with a wider track through different upper and lower controls arms and also a GT2 sway. Hopefully that will eliminate the steering wheel oscillation. But for now I'm just going with an alignment. I will definitely try to max out the neg camber up front. Regarding the LSD, I'm not sure. I presume a 997.2 Turbo S would have one.
