Upto end of model '89 Front -20' +/-15', max difference l to r 10' Rear -25' +/-30', max difference l to r 30' From model '90 Front 0' +/-10', max difference l to r 20' Rear -45 +/-20', max difference l to r 30' |

Does that mean neutral camber on the front? What does the +/-10' mean? Tolerance of +/- 1 degrees? Cheers |

Nope they are in minutes is -20' +/- 15' so -5' to -35' but difference left to right no more than 10' left to right. |

I normally bang in as much negative as I can get making both sides equal normally around 1.25-1.5 or similar, then set up everything else afterwards. This fives best cornering but may make it A. a little twitchy in a straight line & B. increase tyre wear. This is for standard ride height. |

Why manfacturers use a mix of decimal degrees and minutes is beyond me! Its like saying distance in metres and inches. Really the main thing I want to know is , is the original setting for the front camber zero degrees (neutral,niether negative or positive) |

No it is negative 20' then the tolerances are as I said & left to right differences as I put above.  Porsche aren't using any mix purely minutes. I used decimal Degrees because my Longacre Camber gauge does the same. But 1.25 Degrees = 75 minutes, Negative in this case. |

Does anyone have factory Turbo geo. settings too? |

Too be honest your confusing the life out of me now Lol.At the risk of really getting on your nerves, I need to ask what is the the camber for the front in decimal? Are you saying 1.25 neg degrees or is that just an example?

As for the -1.25Degs read what I wrote above about what I do which will improve cornering. |

tr7v8 wrote: Try this :- Thanks but I know what neg and positive camber is. Its just the fact I'm used to setting to decimal degrees (as with a lot of camber gauges) and this is the first time I have heard of minutes. For example on my sprint mini I have 1.5 degree neg camber on the front and neutral on the back. I know how to set camber, I just want to know what the standard setting is (in decimal degrees)for a 944 s2. I'm in the process of doing a Koni conversion so I will be taking the suspension apart and I want to make sure I put it back as Porsche intended. I'm only interested in keeping things as standard as poss. I am not interested in increasing or decreasing the camber from the standard settings. |

Errr shame you didn't say that earlier. That is basic maths so 20' is 1/3rd of 60' or 0.33 Deg . 15' is 1/4 of 60' so 0.25 Deg |

Thanks but got the info form PCGB in the end |
