I'm going to see my local alignment guru (non Porsche) on Monday to have a full wheel alignment.
I have the Porsche alignment details as listed in the Bentley's manual ROW specs, but I suspect these are "general fail safe" values.
Can anybody recommend a good, reasonably agressive caster / camber / toe setup for the road (no track work) which avoids tramlining and high (?) speed nervousness.
Tyre wear is not really an issue as I only do abot 5000 miles a year.
The alignment man said he can set the car up to what I want - either the Porsche specs or one of my own - within reason of course........
Car is a 2001 986 S running standard ROW suspension & wheel / tyre combination.
