Wheel alignment settings?

Hi all,

Going for a four wheel alignment and suspension test and are wondering if anyone can suggest a road/track setup?

Car is a 97 2.5 manual with ROW suspension (Australian) with Che's rear track arms. Appreciate your advice!
Sam

My opinion, choose one or the other set up, you really cannot compromise between a street set up and a track set up. If you track the car frequently, you likely will be frustrated with a conservative street alignment.

I do not track the boxster, but I do autocross it once every couple months, I have a factory alignment and it works really great, I'm happy with it.

Yeah fair enough, good advice.

In that case, do you know where I can find factory specs?
