Best alignment settings?
 
I'm planning on taking my car in at lunch for a front and rear wheel alignment. What are the best alignment settings for aggressive street driving, with an occasional Auto-X. This is a 1988 911 with 7 and 9's 205 front and 245 rear.

I believe that's what Porsche intended when they designed the 911 with the optimum alignment settings from the factory.

4-wheel factory alignment o.k.; maybe a little more neg Camber like 1/2 deg F and 1 deg R.

What about corner balance?

For aggressive street-driving, up your insurance and get a Valentine or Escort. :)

I think it depends on what compromise you would like to make and that Porsche put Economy and Safety first.

So if you are looking for immediate (short term) performance (Speed and handling) then you would compromise economy (Tire, suspension wear and tear and Fuel Mileage).

I think SMC is asking;......What is the best alignment settings that are needed to be a stock optioned bad ass on the street with no other considerations? Could you please lay it out there?
