Default Front alignment Specs

Could someone provide me with the front end alignment specs for a 2007 997.1 TT, which is completely stock. I track it once a year (unfortunately) but would like to have a slightly more aggressive setting than stock. Not enough to wear out the front tires quickly, but a little better handling would be great. Thanks for any help.

Here's mine. You'll not get to that amount of camber with stock LCAs, likely max about -1.2, but the rest of the geo works just as well with that.

If you can, upgrade to Tarett GT3 LCAs, is well worth it, and you'll not get any significant additional tyre wear

Don't know them by hart but I think lots of folks are using GT2 alignment specs. You can look them up.

My street / one weekend at the track every month alignment. You would need adjustable lower control arms in the front (RSS LCA's are on my car) to get beyond ~-1.2 in the front, and if you're lowered you will likely need the rear toe steer kit to get full adjustment of tow in/out on the rear wheels (RSS #312 is what I am using).

I am wearing the outsides of all four track tires (RE71R), more so on the front - so I will probably have to dial in a bit more negative camber so that the entire contact patch is being used when under heavy cornering load at the track. Other than that, I am very happy with how the car handles on the track with these settings.

On the street 325/245 Pilot Super Sport setup I run, I have virtually perfect tread wear across all tires - so this setup would work well as a sporty street alignment, hopefully it gives you some direction.
