I have a '83 944 that I want to track. What is the recommended alignment?

I remember when I had a 944 way back, that Porsche had to raise the rear of the car to pass import criteria. If I recall, there is a bolt in the rear, that once removed (or moved) it drops 1-2"...am I correct with my memory??

Thanks

You are thinking of the eccentric adjustment. Yes, you can lower the car with it but it may only be as much as .75" depending on your current ride height.

My 83 alignment:

-2.5 degrees front camber
zero toe front
2.0 degrees caster
-1.5 degrees rear camber
-.15 toe rear

I use this setup for track but I still street it. I like the alignment a lot but I plan on going to a slightly more aggressive rear setting after a few suspension changes.

I have to retain all the stock components. Its a Chump Car. Can I cut the springs?

Chump car on street tires? I'd increase the negative camber over stock and leave everything else stock.

You could cut the springs. The alignment spec I posted is all stock components.

I'm doing the same thing and asked these questions a while back. Read this in regards to leveling the car:

After that, the overall opinion on Rennlist was to be conservative on adding negative camber and negative toe to both ends, track the car and adjust to suit your driving style and the car itself.

Good luck this year!
