Help with 993 wheel alignment

I have just put on PSS10 and TRG sways front and rear. I will be doing DEs and driving on the street. I am looking for height setting and alignment setting that will satisfy both. I know that does not really happen, but what have you done and what are the down falls and advantages?

Thanx Rob

i have a 96 WB with 10's and TT anti-sways i use for Street and TT
Front = -2.1 degrees camber
Rear = -2.0 degrees camber
Essentially 0 front toe
Don't remember rear toe, sorry, but i also installed ERP rear toe links and had K toe set.
Ride height = RS + 2 - 3mm
i run 235 front and 295 rear with no rubbing issues at this height.

All alignment work done by Jae Lee @ Mirage in San Diego.

I'm very happy thus far.
I'm now driving a car that is "transformed".
Previously an undrsteering AWD "pig", it now turns in very nicely and i can get the car to rotate ,( pitch-n-catch).

if this is too much camber for the street and wears tires a bit more quicky......... no big deal

it is a bit more "twitchy" to drive on the fwy and tends to follow the road contours more readily (tramline), again............. no big deal

I'm very happy with this setup.

A small amount of toe goes a long way toward eliminating that

Hey Bill- Toe in to eliminate the twitch? I'm having a similar issue with my 930. See post in 930 area. Interested to hear what you think. Thanks, Jeff

Thanx for all the info. I had my car corner balanced and aligned today. I review everyone's recommendations with my mechanic. I'll post what he did.

Thanx again.
