Allignment help

Hello,

I have a 99 986 that has a set of coil overs. Prior to that I had lowering springs.
Since the lowering springs have been installed my camber and toe have been a continuous issue.

I am trying to get the car into ROW settings, if not those I would like opinions on what others with lowered cars are running.I understand that a car that is lowered will bot be able to get an oem allignment and thats fine I am just trying to get the best possible set up with out buying camber plates or toe links.

My driving is 50/50 interstate and back country roads, with about 2 or 3 track days a year.

The current allignment is:

Front
-1.2 camber -1.2 The front coil overs do have built in camber plates, i do not know weather or not they where used to get the current setup.
.08 toe .09

Rear
-1.7 camber -2.2
.4 toe 1.09

My camber on the right side is out of Porsche specs by .2, but my toe is insanely out of spec. The number I have say I should be within 0.0-.17 my question at this point is: am I better off with more camber and less toe?

What does everyone here think??

Thanks for any help.

I had H&R sport springs. The car was slammed and looked grat. However, it needed a camber kit to allign. I the one month between lowering it and alligning it, it completely chewed up the rear tires.

Go over to boxster racing board and search... but short answer is most guys who track...run 0 toe in front with maxium neg camber in front... in the rear they run 1/16 toe and 2-3 neg camber. For the street porsche spec should be fine... you may need to rear arms to control that rear toe.
