930 track caster/camber settings
What's the latest thinking on 911/930 caster settings for track use? Less or more? There are advantages to each. I've been looking at caster settings for the Group B turbos or the early 80s which ran to lower caster numbers but they were on bias ply tires. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
What is the thinking about camber settings differences front to rear for a 911 or 930? I know it's all relative to but was looking for some basic rules of thumb. I'm cross posting this on the Autox and racing list. Thanks Jim 1980 930 1995 993 |

My understanding is the more caster you have the more camber gain you get when turning the front. As we are camber limited on 911/930's it is an advantage to go for max camber and caster.
On my 85 3.2 up front I got to about 6.5 deg caster and -1.1 deg camber. Wish I could get more. |

what tires will you run? Usually the tire mfg's offer some specified range for their application. this is a good place to start, too.

Also, if you are going to pay for an alignment, it is a good time to consider any other upgrades (like monoball, offset camber plates, which gain you about +1 degree negative camber.) You will hate to pay more than once for a proper alignment and corner balance.
