Performance Alignment Specs

[fondueski]

I'd like to have a performance alignment done to my Cayman S. Does anyone have recommended specs? I'll be using the car for AX, track, and street driving (but not daily driver).

Thanks

I would just add as much negative camber as you can and stay within the specs.

Tire wear will increase - but so will handling.

The most camber you can get on the stock suspension w/o mods is about -1.0 on the front and -1.75 on the rear, which is not a bad compromise for street/track/AX. To get the max negative camber on the fronts, you have to push the strut mounting bolts all the way inboard in their slots.

Like you, I wanted a compromise for street and track, so I went for near zero toe on the fronts (0.04 toe-in) and slight toe-in on the rears (0.08) and as much caster as possible. If you are really competitive in AX, then you might want a touch of toe-out on the fronts, but it will make the car wander more on the highway.
