Default 964 RS geometry info

Hi Guys finally booked my car in for full geo now I have refurbed all of the suspension, brakes, and steering over the past 6 months.

Was going to go for RS spec settings. but can't seem to find the info. I'm sure the subjects been visited many times here so can you point me in the right direction, or offer your own settings as an alternative.

My car is a UK C2 coupe with PSS10's
Thanks!

Superb thanks Boxey!
I hope to join you on a few track days next year. I just need to get a few miles under my belt with the car to have the confidence in it that it will be up to the job. I bought it in November and only covered 100 miles before taking it off the road to refurb the suspension and steering etc. Engine and gearbox seems very strong, just need to go through all the usual bits and pieces these cars throw up as they get older.

You're welcome. I have stuff like this squirreled away as it always comes in useful.

BTW mine is set at RS ride height plus 5 mm at each end because I find it a lot easier to live with over speed humps and the like. And there's very little bump steer at that height.

My guess is that the base settings would have been the same as the RS. Something that is backed up by information on the Carrera Cup USA website. See page 11 onwards of this document:

http://www.carreracupusa.org/article...%20Edition.pdf

However, with the cup being an out and out race car I guess it was mostly left to the teams running them to figure out the best specs for them. A friend who runs his cup on slicks has at least -2.5 camber all round.

Thanks. I am told that the Cups are different than the RS but the person who told me this did not know where his information came from.
Forgot to mention that I am referring to a Euro RS Cup. I'm assuming that a C2 Cup is the same but maybe not. Don't want to hijack this thread.

I don't have the 964 Cup specs but the difference from RS is probably similar to that in the 993s that I do have
