Default Factory alignment numbers for 997?

Does anybody have factory alignment numbers for 997s?

Also, what's the max camber front/rear you can get with PASM suspension?

Here are the factory alignment settings.
-1 degree is about the most negative camber you can get up front.

Magnus...depending on where you take your car to be aligned but different places use different measures...some in degrees, some in minutes. If your place uses degrees and you want a sporty street still with in spec alignment here is a suggestions that works well with stock Carrera S PASM suspension

FRONT
-1 camber per side
zero toe or .02 degrees to out per side
Caster is not adjustable with stock suspension

REAR
-1.5 camber per side
.15 degrees toe in per side

You will get excellent tire wear on the street and can do AutoX and light DE track events. A good alignment shop can match bother sides perfectly if they know what they are doing and take their time.

Guys, the factory alignments above, do they refer to slight front and rear toe OUT? Because + toe normally means toe out. Which would be odd as all other posts recommend slight toe in at back and slight toe out at front.

Edited: My mistake, + toe is toe IN I have just verified.
