Stock camber settings?
I'm scheduled for an allignment tomorrow as well as some Yokohoma AD07 tires and a Tubi exhaust! My question is on allignment. My shop and I talked about what I want to do. We decided to start with factory camber settings. The shop told me that Porsche has a range to set the factory settings at and that they would go with the most aggresive in that range...though not the most aggresive that can be done. Then if I feel we need to make changes they can tweak it. My question is, what is the factory settings and is there a range or a set numebr? Thanks!

The factory settings are to aggresive for street use. Count on having you inner rear tires wearing while the rest of the tire is brand new.
Though a aggresive setting does allow for better cornering but if you not at the track every weekend then why would ytou want it because you don't need it for the street.
@600+ a rear tire, I have mine dialed out as much as possible, though there still is negative camber even dialed out as much as possible.
Tire wear is much better now and I don't notice much difference at the track. Though I am not one to push the car to its limits yet. Since I think my limits are much lower then the cars right now.

It really depends on how much you track your car. Or autocross, as that will wear tires even more. If you don't track your car, or perhaps once a year, then the stock setting of -1.0 rear camber will cause the inside of tire to wear out well before the outside. That's because you don't corner very hard on the street so you put very little wear on the outside edges.
