Hi Pete, Edward,
Can you suggest me the alignment spec. on my wide body (modified) 87, lowed, 17x9" front and 17x11.5" rear? Everything else is stock.
Thanks.
Hey bud,

I am no suspension guru , or guru of any type for that matter. But I have sorted out quite a few suspension and handling points via trial/error, and getting lots of advice from those who know these things.

That said, the initial posts with camber, caster, toe which I or Pete gave you should suit you fine for a street car. The difference (minor, at that) is that my recommendations are just a tad more aggressive from what Pete suggested. Come to think of it, with you running such wide rubber (especially out back), you may even want to go with -1 degree camber front and rear to dial out some understeer and make the car a bit more neutral. Hope that helps you some

Pete- thanks for the explination, having only ever driven my '88 cab (with the sport shocks) I won't try to offer an (un)informed addition. It does have a few suspension upgrades, and its obviously on the heavy side of the 911 family, but it feels good on the track and street to me, but I have nothing to compare it to. Your comment will give me something to pay attention to in my next drive/track event. It always make me think if this cab feels so good to me, how good must a solid coupe be...what am I misssing...can it really get better

Ice- sorry for the slight hi-jack
