I dont know much about suspension and I was wondering what the stock camber is on the 951. The PO installed some yellow konis and the tires are now in a / \ setting, but not by much though. I was wondering if this was ok to use for a street car or should I adjust them? Also is there a way I can read the suspension settings and would changing the camber settings be a diy or a take it to the shop job?

You can do the front camber easily with some basic gauges, it also affects toe, so you need to do that at the same time. Same thing with the rear which adjusts both toe & camber simultaneously and is a little difficult. Personally I think it's worth the $100-200 costs to take it to a shop to have it professionally done. I can also get corner-balancing done for the upper-end of that range.

The specs I like to use for everyday driving around is:

F: -2.25 camber, 3.5 caster, 1/16" toe-in
R: -1.75 camber, 1/32" toe-in

and for track use, I'll increase the front camber to about -3.0 degrees with camber-caster plates. If it's a really tight track, like the Streets of Willow Springs course, I'll set front toe to zero for a little more responsive turn-in.

Autocross settings would be something like -4.0 degrees and 1/16" toe-out in front.

How is the rear adjusted?

There's this special Porsche tool you get and it sets both the camber and caster at once. Quite a pain really...
