It's time to replace my 24 year old shocks, but what with?

Since I'll be fiddling with suspension components I'll be doing an alignment myself as well and this is now need to know info for me.

Found this in my copy of the Porsche Workshop Manual. Hopefully it's still accurate as it's dated 1996.

Found some info dated 1999 for the 2.7L and the 3.2L.

Alignment 99 2.7L


Alignment 99 3.2L

Lowski, that is exactly what I needed! I'll have to save those files in a dozen places to make sure I always have a copy, lol.

I went out to my string box and made adjustments but I'm having issues with my rear left wheel. I recently did the wheel bearing and I can't seem to get the alignment to fall within spec using the provided adjustment methods. Right now I have toe out of 7mm, not sure how that translates to degrees but I know it's not what I want.

I've tried adjusting the camber as well to get better toe alignment but I've maxed that out as well and still no luck.

Any other routes I can try to take?
