997 (GTS) geo settings

[Nimerino]

Chaps, been searching the boards to try and locate the above info but can't find anything that doesn't relate to GT3s or Turbos.

My GTS seems to be running aggressive negative camber at the rear, enough to wear the inside of the tyre while barely touching the middle. my OPC here in Sweden has already made noises about this being standard for the GTS, which I find hard to believe.

Any help would be appreciated. Are the settings available to download somewhere?

Unless you already have a printout, it's quite easy to measure the camber with some string and then work out the angle. 1-1.5deg is normal but someone might be along with the GTS-specific value.

so even after adjustment it was still not within parameters!!

That would drive me mad.

Out of factory spec does not automatically mean no good. CG will at request set up to what you want and how you want the car to feel based on your style of driving and roads you use. On my car I have as many red figure settings as green.

Looks spot on.

But that printout from Centre Gravity looks odd. Why would there be negative camber on one side and positive on the other?!

I think perhaps you are misreading it. The camber is negative on all wheels on each axle but one figure shows as red and one green to denote in or out of the factory range.

Good point well put DOH

I did not want standard settings, I could have got that anywhere.

You're right. On my phone it looked like the "-" was a "+" next to one of the numbers. Still seems strange they're not the same left to right, but that may well be deliberate as other people have commented.

With respect what you have got is pretty standard or as close to standard as you can get for 'custom'. The front toe is parallel and the rear camber is a mere 3 minutes out of spec or less than 1/10 a degree. The front camber is within spec and only half a degree negative. There is nothing wrong with that but it's more of a tidy and tighten up geo than one of change the settings for a big feel difference. I'm not knocking CG either as I have been there 3 or 4 times over 2 years.
