Wheel Alignment Specs

Did someone happen to save the thread with the alignment specs in their favorites? I'm trying to compare the chart to the one in the Bentley Manual. My Boxster is going in for an alignment tomorrow and I want to give them the correct specs to align it to. Thanks.

Could one of the mods put the thread in the D.I.Y. section when they get a chance?

Whoa! The settings for the RoW Sport alignment for the front axle camber differs from the ones deliriousga posted and the Bentley Manual supplies. deliriousga,where did you get the alignment settings from?

Bentley says the "Camber with wheels forward -15' +- 5',max difference left to right 20'"

The other specs say "Camber(with wheels straight forward) -15' +- 30',max difference left to right,20'"

The RoW suspension lowers the car slightly, which would naturally give more static negative camber.

My car is going in on Monday for an alignment. Specs will be maximum front negative camber, minimum rear negative camber, 1/8" total toe-out front (8 minutes per wheel or 16 minutes total toe out), zero total toe rear.

This is all automated now. The specs should be in the alignment guys computer.
