Can anyone recomend some good reading material (or web site) pertaining to chassis set up. Like how to change camber, etc.

Mike-

Two books that I have found helpful in understanding the many factors involved in suspension setup and tuning are "How To Make Your Car Handle" by Fred Puhn and "Chassis Engineering" by Herb Adams. They are not Porsche-specific, but they give you a good overview of the issues.

They can sometimes be found used for cheap on Amazon and Yahoo.
