86 Porsche Tech Spec Book

[GMR911]

Hi, Does any one have a tech spec book for a 86 911. I am looking for the angle of inclination for the rear spring plates as specified by Porsche for a euro car vs a USA car. Thanks Jerry

There isn't a separate spec for US/RoW for that year
35* w/ Bilstein gas shocks and the 24.1mm t-bars used on '84&85
32* for cars w/ 25mm t-bars('86 up)

back in the old days there used to be a different spec, for MY76 w/23mm t-bars
it was
US 42*
RoW 38*

Bill, does that 32 degrees for the 25mm bars the same for Bilstein shocks as non bilstein equipped cars. I remember reading somewhere that at some point during the mid 80's Porsche no longer had USA ride height cars and returned to the standard ride height they had for all cars prior to the USA spec height. Thanks Jerry
