The SPG 'option' was available 85-91. Factory specs std. : caster 2'+/- 0.5
camber 0.5' +/- 0.5, toe-in 2 +/- 1 mm Sport settings from factory:
caster 2' +/- 0.25, camber 0.25'+/- 0.25, toe-in 1.5 +/- 0.5 mm. I have been running 0.5 degrees negative camber with the sport springs [ which I think first came on the SPG in '89 ] this is very noticeable visually and I was afraid I would get noticeable tire wear, but it does not seem as bad as with stock spec. I am also running 1.5 degrees positive caster. My toe-in is 0.05 each, total 0.1". My first drives with this setting seemed very twitchy, but I soon got used to it. Feels great on a long sweeping corner. Only draw back I have experienced was the poor tech at DEQ inspection who almost ran it off the dyno rollers. Good luck. One other watch for : alignment shops often jack up rear of car @ center of rear axle - note in factory manual " never jack @ rear axle center". Axle is not designed to take load of car in this way.
