Time to bring this thread back from the dead. Anyone with any updates? I don't really hear too many going as high as -3 up front. Range seems to be -2.5 to -3 front, -2.2 to -2.5 rear.
Car is getting set up for next season and I want to start fresh. I have a friend who is running -3f, -2.25R on a regular 997.2 GT3 and he thinks the car feels great. Will likely be using some Hoosiers and some Pirelli Corsa/MPSC/Trofeo. So what do you think?

I'm still interested to know Bob Rouleau's settings (especially front and rear toe) so I can go to this place I know and do my own alignment using their gee whiz laser alignment rack.

^ Trak, what size Hoosiers are u running? I assume ur talking about R6's? I'm late to the Gen2 game and only took delivery last week... Have yet to try the new toy on track. Stock comes with MPSC+ which I thought was so-so with a v narrow optimal temp range...

Just when I got the car; I had some fronts left over from the Gt3, so I bought 2 rears that I corded in 3 days..
First 2 were breaking in the car, just rinning 2:23"s Then the sway bar bracket broke, but I did not know it, so still 2:23's. It was a day of hope for Erik.

Toe 2 mins per side (toe in)
Caster 8.5 deg
Rear Camber - 2.6 deg
Toe 12 mins per side

I'm the guy who ran 3.0 F, 2.25 back. The fronts wore perfectly even, the rears wore the outside a bit, so we are going to increase the rear to about 2.4-2.5.
6 track days on the OEM Sport Cups, fronts corded in the middle, rears on the outside. Pretty abrasive track (NJMP).
Car did feel good though John....
