Need track alignment settings
 

Hi, I removed the engine, so I need a alignment. track only car, not lowered much, very stiff springs, adustable camber plates. 17 255/40 tires on all four corners. Anyone know a good base to start with for track use? Toe, camber, etc. for front and rear?

i change my settings for each track i go to . but a good starting point is stock rear setting for toe . with 1.0 to 1.5 camber . with the front i run my camber from 2.0 to 3.0 . with caster set at 2.4 for most tracks but on a track with alot of tight turns i will change to 2.2 and on a track that has no tight turns i go to 2.6 caster . toe settings are 1/16 toe in with delrin bushings .if your using stock bushings you may want to try an 1/8 inch toe in for track only . a 1/8 is to much for a street car running street tires . but this toe setting worked best with R tires and rubber bushings . i would not opt for the 17 inch wheel i have tested wheels sizes from 15s to 17s and from 7 inch wide to 9 inch wide . the best wheel set up is a 7x15 front and 8x15 rear . i do have a set of 9 inch for the rear also but i only use them at 2 tracks . the side wall of a tire will also determine how the car acks over the little braking bumps and the over all performance of your suspension . becouse of the class i race in we have to leave the drive line stock so to turn a good lap time we have to spend our time on dialing in our suspension . i have found the 944 to have to much push or understeer . i installed the smallest front anti-roll bar that porsche offers and the biggest rear bar porsche offers .i have tested every anti-roll bar that came on the 944's . from test an tune days and races i'm at the track just about once a week . so i do have real seat time to know what is working for tracking the 944 . other than camber - caster plates and front coilovers we can only use parts porsche . so i would start with the front set at about 2.2 camber , 2.4 caster and toe at 1/16 in . rear at about 1.0 camber and 0.0 toe .

i should add that the 2.2 to 2.6 caster settings are in porshes specs . i find that at 2.2 caster setting . i need to add in more camber too . this seting makes for a quicker turn in but if you don't add in more camber the car gets more push .
