Default Help w. Alignment Settings

Can anyone suggest alignment settings for an 89 930 cab. I am installing new struts up front, a bump steer kit, and shock tower brace. Anyone have any suggestions?

How do you typically use the car? Street? Track?

That will be the deciding factor of how you want to set the car up.

If the car is stock, at stock ride height, and you use the car for street, I'd use the US alignment specs. If your car is stock but lowered, I'd use ROW alignment specs. If your car is for track then you can use more agressive alignment specs which will depend on wheels size, ride height, etc. However, being a convertible, the chassis will flex quite a bit so I wouldn't know where to begin.

With 315/35 tires in the rear, my alignmet specs for track/street are:

front rear
toe-in 1/32 1/16
camber -1.2 -.7
caster 5.5 n/a

The tire wear pattern indicates a need for more camber in the front, but there isn't anymore adjustment in the stock mounts.
