track allignment question
concerning toe adjustment can some one tell me what the standard front and rear toe setting would be for my 89 944ts in degree and/or minutes.
i'm thinking of going to half that for street and track use.

I use mine for combo street/track and run 0 toe front and rear, max caster front (~ +3 deg), -2 1/2 deg camber front, -1 1/2 deg camber rear. Also, rear shocks about 75% stiff, fronts about 80% stiff. Stock suspension, except for 968 M030 swaybars, with the adjustable rear bar set full stiff -- a nice bolt-on upgrade (especially considering the puny 16mm rear bar on the S). Still pushes a bit on the tight stuff, but wider front tires would help.

Toe settings really come down to preference. If you are on a short twisty track you might go with a small amount of toe-out (say 1/32 on each side), but on a longer track with more straights go with toe-in (same 1/32.) I would stay away from 0 up front to keep the car from wandering. Limerock is my home track so I keep the car with toe-out, think about turning and it turns. This setup causes the car to "groove track" at the Glen or other long courses. You really have to hold the wheel and pay attention.
