Cayman R Factory Alignment Settings
Apologies if this is a duplicate question, but I need the definitive answer on the OEM alignment settings for the Cayman R stock Sport Suspension (non-PASM). The manual that comes with the car is for the CS. Mostly that's okay, but the CS does not have the CR suspension, so I have no source document of how the suspension is set from the factory. Does anyone know? Or know where to look?
Thanks!
Thanks!

The Cayman R came with a short booklet "Cayman R Supplement to Owner's Manual" but it does not contain alignment specs.
When I had mine aligned by dealer techs the alignment sheet showed the factory specs-
Front: Camber -0.5 to -1.0deg, Caster 7.3 to 8.5deg, Toe 0.0 to 0.08deg
Rear: Camber -1.4 to -1.9deg, Toe 0.0 to 0.17deg
I'm not 100% certain these are the factory specs but have had multiple alignment sheets by Porsche techs showing these ranges. Have also seen the CS sheets which show only 0.1 to -0.4deg front camber. I currently have GT3 LCAs and run -2.5deg front and -2.0deg rear camber.

Thanks for sharing your info on what the factory settings are likely to be. I do appreciate this.
Maybe the R manual exists only in German. Since the US/UK import numbers were so small could it be they didn't bother to translate the manual. IDK, it's just a theory. I could use the German version, if it in fact exists.
