At the time I think I had about 4-5 degrees both front and rear but now I run about 3/3,5 degrees front/rear.

You do measure camber by degrees in the US, right?

yes

Very nice looking track car. The euro bumpers look so much better than the U.S. ones. If it wasn't so much trouble to get I would have done that instead of the turbo bumper conversion.

I can't tell from the pics, but are those 968 mirrors, or 935-esque mirrors? I have a 935 mirror for the drivers side, am considering ditching the 968 mirrors in favor of that. Of course it needs to be modified to fit in the corner of the door window properly.

What size of tires?

You can save about 6kg's with standard alu arms but you could have more troubles with repair jobs.

It looks great with negative on wheels and it must runs great on track. I would love to try it but maybe someday my 944 will be so good as yours.

Thanks for your answers.

I don't know where the previous owner of my car have found the mirrors but they are not 968 mirrors. My guess would be som kind of aftermarket product. I have to say that I really like them and I have never seen another car with the same mirrors.

6kg! Hmm...
Good to know if I get as serious as I would like to be about reducing weight!
Thanks!

Thank you for your info! I didn't know that! Probably haven't looked close enough on the rims.
I have actually had a couple of mkII GTI 16v before my 944. Fun cars!
