Alignment- the next step
#16
PowerTech in NJ did my setup, following the reccomendations of one of the guys on this board - Insite. This is what I run with RoW M030:
Front -1.2 Deg
Rear -2.5 Deg
Front toe = 0
Rear Toe = 0.031"
Pressures = 32 psi all around
Setup works great street and track. You will not get as much neg front without the Row M030, but I would just get it as close as possible.

Mike, yes that's what I had in mind. A dremel or die grinder and about five minutes per side will let you get more negative camber on a 986. Ron did my Boxster S and I think I got about neg 1.2 - which made a nice street/track compromise and eliminated the under steer. Cheap fix. Mill out the slots about 3/8 of an inch on the inboard side. More is a waste because the shocks will hit the chassis.
Best,
Best,

Thanks Bob!
From he fact that he already "dremeled" me once, I am guessing I already have the range, just that Ron gave me what I asked for, a street/track alignment, emphasis on street (now set at neg .9 degree). My respectful nature via the car and the track get the best of me sometimes.
I believe that I should not try to take this car too far to the dark side, doing that with a platform more directly related to track driving would be a better route, down the road.

Mike, I can honestly say the specs I listed above are more "dark side" as you put it, but they are still VERY streetable. I can sometimes detect a little bit of railroad tracking, but very little, and it is a small price to pay for the increased performance I get when I decide to play a little. I drive the car frequently, although not daily, but I do not find that the tires are wearing excessively with this setup either.
