Not sure if this has been posted before but does anyone know of a reference that shows what the original suspension geometry should be of various 3rd Gen models.
I'm refering to things like front and rear camber, castor, toe in, toe out, etc.

This is the print-out I get from the guy that does my wheel alignments. I imagine the 'target data' is the factory spec.

I remember someone once saying that if you had more toe out on the rear axle of a 3rd Gen it would handle better through corners. Any truth to this?

I toe my rear wheels out 1mm either side, this helps "unsettle" the rear a bit, which in turn helps "turn in" in to corners.... if that makes sense.

Adding toe out on the rear wheels helps with a "oversteer" motion where as toe in helps cut oversteer and promote stability

Got a wheel alignment, rotation and balance coming up so will ask them for 1mm toe out on the rear
