After doing a bit of research, and getting some great advice from here, I had done a basic front camber change a few weeks ago, but still found the car a little understeery, so decided to do it properly, and settled on this as a starting point for an alignment.
Front
Ride Height 94mm.
ARB: 2nd softest.
Camber: 3* 05.
Castor: Not adjustable, but 7* 55.
Toe 08 minutes out either side.
Rear
Ride Height 120mm
ARB: Full hard.
Camber: 2*20
Toe: 15 minutes in either side.
Results, as suspected on the road it tramlines a little, but isn't too bad over all. On the track it's got rid of almost all of the understeer, and I found the car much more neutral, and confidence inspiring on the brakes. I was on the markers on the rear Cups, so I'm not sure if that's to blame, but it was perhaps a little more tail happy than necessary, which although hugely enjoyable did show with slightly more inner rear tyre wear than outer.
I think I'll pull a little camber off the rear, probably to 2*, and perhaps go one softer on the rear arb to see where it puts us.
Here's a vid. Rockingham appears to absolutely destroy tyres, and it got a bit boring after a while.
Feel free to critique my driving. I've never driven a Porsche before this one, and I am loving it, but know I could be a fair bit faster.
P.S. I'm going to try the spot exposure setting on the GoPro next time as outside the car is over exposed. It's better if you view it on Youtube rather than the embedded version.
