Trying to figure out if I can safely go 1" per side to make the front track the same as the rear....I currently have 1.25" thick spacers, so I could eliminate those which would be nice.
I figure not that big of a deal on the camber since that is easily fixed by opening up the top of the shock tower (salvage title car, so no worries about "ruining it" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) ) For those that have installed turbo-tie rods, do you think there is enough adjustment to move the ends out an inch per side???

This is what a 964/993 front looks like: the strut is more inclined towards the middle of the car, plus the strut center at hub level is way inward from where the balljoint is. Both of these features allow you to run higher offset rims and larger tires, plus this reduces scrub radius. I think a 993 actually has a slightly negative scrub rad. If you look at a front hub, you may be surprised to see where the strut is connected to the hub, it's behind the hub center. It looks like Porsche did that to allow passage for the front axles on a Carrera 4. The steering arm is also at a different elevation. Anyways, the geometry is very different.
