Porsche Crest Need measurments for suspension adjustments

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow morning I'm having the suspension set (I guess the term is "corner balanced"), but the shop that will do it for me didn't have the correct angles (toe in, camber, etc) in their database, since "the car is a bit old" (hrrmm... ) and asked me to bring them along.

Does anyone know what the correct number are for my car? (which by the way is a 72S Targa, euro spec ride height, 16" Fuchs with standard sway bars all round. For road use only).

All input appreciated!

The factory specs for the '70-'77 911 are, from memory:

Front toe-in .08 degrees per side .16 deg. total
Rear toe-in .17 degrees per side .34 deg. total

Caster 6-6.5 degrees positive
Front camber zero deg.
Rear camber 1.0 deg. negative

Because of the lowering, it will be impossible to get the front camber positive enough to get into the spec range. Instead, just get it as positive as it will allow, (usually -.7) and then make the rear one full degree more negative than the front to maintain the Factory differential spec.
