Is this just the maximum camber settings? Yes, you are camber limited with a Carrera in front. Your options are camber plates or GT3 control arms. I would strongly recommend GT3 control arms. I put these on my 996 and you get the added advantage of gaining 1"+ track (depending on shim pack). I had a 10mm shim pack per side which netted -2.4. I had the rear set at -1.9.

Heading to the track this weekend. I do use R-compounds on 7.5" front and 10 rears. I like the idea of just buying GT3 strut tops and moving the pins. Thanks for all the help.

Thus, when someone list a setting of -2.5 ... an alignment technician will read that as negative 2 degrees 50 minutes, (-2.8 would be negative 3 degree's 20 minutes). So, when you state you are setting your camber settings at -2.5 or -3.5 you are really stating that the camber settings are -2 degree's 30 minutes / -3 degree's 30 minutes.

All electronic camber gauges that I have ever seen read in 10ths of a degree, not minutes of angle.

I am well aware of that (as we have an alignment machine)... Still, You need to speak the proper terminology. Just because you are either lazy or ill informed is no excuse.

Or "How to get hammered on Rennlist with one easy lesson". Watch out Larry, I bet he is a top pro racer or an engineer on an F1 race team... we are all idiots and should ![bowdown](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bowdown.gif)
And to clarify i'm just LAZY but I try and stay well informed. I got your minutes of angle right here CWhaley! You come here and insult a great guy, a respected coach, and excellent racer?? And for your little notebook, QUOTE in brackets starts a quote, /QUOTE in brackets finishes it.
How many arc seconds of an isosceles triangle is that?
