Default Track day wheel alignment Camber and Toe in / toe out Tips Please?

Hello i have a Porsche Cayman R

i have had an custom alignment done before. Too get some better turn in.
So i maxed the front negative camber too -1.0.
and matched the rear camber too the other one which looked too have the best wear. so i went for the -2.1 in the rear.
and i went lower on toe in in the front and rear.

here are the specs how it was from when i bought it and then after my settings



i still have more understeer then i want. especialy on turn in. would it help too lower the rear camber from -2.1 to -1.7?
i would like too have some feedback on this!

i am planning too do 0 toe in front now and also go with less toe in in the rear. 0.03 0.03 so a total of 0.06 toe rear.
or should i go for zero toe in the rear too ?

Greetings
Sebastian

just had mine done to similar numbers Sebastian, I think that's about all you can do without adjustable front lower control arms...

from what i read in the alignment topics, less rear camber would help to get rid of some more understeer.
Can anyone confirm this ?

Front toe out should help your turn-in. I'd try that before decreasing rear camber. You may ultimately need to do both.

I went for -1.5 camber in the rear
I had it done today, here are the results:



i am happy with the results its not an amazing big change but it feels better!, there is less understeer through the whole corner . and feels more neutral.
