Beat the search button to death, tons of threads about ride height but none that give the actual Alignment specs for my new suspension, I'd like to be a little more educated before I take it to the alignment shop. It has 18" hollow twist wheels. really appreciate your help!
Do you guys recommend driving it for X number of miles before I take it to the alignment shop? So as to let suspension "settle"? Thanks!!

Use stock specs.

Where are stock specs? I assume shop will have them.

Ed Hughes

That would depend on the shop. Have you researched their knowledge of these cars? 90+% of the alignment people out there do not know how to, or are not equipped to align a 993. If you haven't, make sure you do your due diligence on researching the shop. This is a good place to start, to poll other local people.

May be helpful to state your location so folks can chime in with recommendations.

I think about a week or 200 miles to settle.

I am in same position as OP on specs for suspension change. I think there is a fairly large consensus that USA ride height for example is something peeps want to change more towards ROW heights? Some of it cosmetic, some infer performance and feel. I wonder how many folks invest in new suspension for street or track that set "at stock" on USA cars?

The question was RE alignment specs, as I saw it. Camber, caster, toe.

Oops, my bad...

red67vert

Yes, camber, castor, toe. Where are these numbers? But you're right the alignment shop should know if they have experience doing 993's. Any suggestions for the metro Detroit area?

I'd say the 993RS specs is a good start if you want something geared towards more performance etc. Keep in mind if you have an AWD specs may differ vs RWD. An experience shop should be able to offer you advice based on your driving needs.

So are you saying, find an experience shop and leave it up to them? And don't come armed with any numbers(settings) myself?

Knight

Yes a good shop will know what they are doing, if they don't know what the rear kinematic tool is then run. But here you go if you want something on hand as reference.
