Alignment fingers for track use GT3 997.2
i have gone through many threads on that topic. Consensus seems to be around -2 front and -2.5 back for camber. Any reliable source for best set up for stock suspension for camber and toe ?

Good street/track alignment IMO:
-2.3 front with 0 toe or 1mm total toe out (0.5mm toe out per side)
-1.8 rear with 4mm total toe in (2mm toe in per side)
Use factory caster settings
On my car which is used primarily on track with a random cars and coffee here and there, I run -3 deg camber up front and -2.3 deg camber in the rear with same toe/caster settings mentioned above.

The hybrid alignment is achievable with stock components. You'll want to get rear toe links with locking plates to lock in the rear toe if you plan to track.
On my track alignment, I had to get adjustable front caster pucks to correct the caster as the caster increased causing interference with the front fender liners. To get more front camber on our cars, there are different approaches. You can rotate the front top mounts, shim the front lower control arms, or do a combination of both.
However, each approach impacts caster differently and you need to check how far off from stock caster once the front camber is set. My shop prefers to shim the front lower control arms rather than rotate the top mounts. Using only shims, front caster was still ok when front camber was set to -2.3 to -2.5, but once front camber was adjusted over -2.5 deg I was having interference issues with the front fender liners, so I needed the adjustable caster pucks to fix front caster.
