Neg camber is why it feels good in the corners. -1 neg is not that much to run on a street car. But the tires will wear slightly fast.

Revival of a really old thread, but I didn't see any more recent threads that address my question. The comment above makes the comment that factory spec for 964 is "toe in" but in my electronic version of the shop manual it lists the spec for regular C2/C4 as 25' +- 5' (RS is the 15' +-5'). Isn't a positive number actually toe out and not toe in as mentioned above? I got new tires put on the 964 and just wanting to make the most appropriate decision in terms of alignment.

Positive is usually toe-in. It definitely is in this case. It sounds like OP shop translated positive as toe-out. Huge difference!

RS alignment is really pretty mild. The stock alignment is horrible and more like something I would expect on a minivan!
