F
-.8deg camber
0 toe
max castor

R
-1.2deg Camber
1/16th total toe-in (just a touch)

This setup results in best performance on the track and excellent tire wear. Maybe time for a Porsche performance shop to do your alignments?
When I went to get the track alignment, the guy said he couldn't get much negative camber out of the rears because the adjustment was at the limit, but the guy yesterday was able to get more negative camber out, and also reduce the rear toe, so yeah, I'll have to find a new alignment shop.

Anyone know of a good shop in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale area?
