Suspension Geometry

[calisa]

997.1 C4S
Just had shocks replaced and suspension checked over and about to get a 4-wheel alignment and set up.
Does anyone have recommended suspension settings to use/compare to the factory recommendations?
standard height, road use only

Had my 987.2 Box done to OEM geometry, no demon tweaks etc, 4 years ago, even tyre wear, straight as a die very nice.
85K miles now on original suspension too.
Keep it simple, Porsche Engineers spent a long time getting it right.

For road use, stick to factory settings.

14 years ago - when I was a mere baby, I did a forum run down of chassis setup on 997.
If you have the time and inclination, you may find this of some interest.
it's in the Members Only section and can be found here.

thanks for all the responses
OEM it is!
new shocks (Bilstein OEM equivalent), all bushes checked (all are OK), one tie rod end replaced, new tyres fitted and pressures checked (I've got a small compressor so tyre pressures are checked regularly)
Added bonus was getting access to see if there was corrosion or other problems. All good so its now time to turn hydrocarbons into smiles
