    From the 1994 348 Challenge regs.
    Camber front max 1 degree 40
    Camber rear max 3 degrees 15
    Toe front 2.5 - 3.5 mm
    Toe rear 3 - 4 mm
    Castor (incidenza if I've got it right!) 4 degrees 20 - 4 degrees 40
    Springs would have been stock.
    Ride hight was free as long as no part of the vehicle touched the ground with both tyres on the same side deflated.
    Hope that helps, good luck with the car.

    Super, real world data is best.

    My contribution.....
    Sorry been too busy with engine service and fuel pump/foam replacement to measure the camber/caster - but did get the spring values.

    348-Challenge/RHD

    Front
    main= 140.60.240
    helper= 60.60.40
    arb= 22.3

    Rear
    main= 180.60.160
    helper= 80.x.x (can not read the writing)
    Spacer=solid / see pic.
    ARB= 16.4

    Something Interesting -
    Look at the second pic of my rear wheel.
    My wheel is most definitely NOT in the same place as on my Spider.

    Spiders wheels have an extra 15 or 25mm built in. Same wheels were used on the SS.
