Alignment Question
In the 996 faq it recommends the GT3 alignment:
Alignment
Bill Economos (Chicago) suggests the GT3 street alignment:
Rear Axle:
Camber: -1.50 degrees +/- .10 degrees
Toe: +08' +/- 05' Total Toe: +16' +/- 10' axle angle: 0' +/- 10'
Front Axle:
Caster: +8 degrees +/- 3 degrees
Camber: -1 Degree +/- .10 degrees
Toe: +03' +/- 03' Total Toe: +05' +/1 05'
Is this possible on a regular 996 with regular suspension, or do you need PSS to be able to do this? Anyone have any other opinions about what alignment values work best for regular daily "spirited" driving?

That is a lot of negative camber in the front and I'm not so sure you would even be able to get that much in a base 996. I'm running the x74 suspension and the factory x74 alignement specs. I'm very satisfied with the handling. I haven't been running it long enough to comment on tire wear, but only suspect that the fronts inside will wear a little quicker. See below for specs.
