Hi Tom, Doug can tell you his experience with 99 handling and ride height. I have found that it is sensitive to alignment, especially to caster. The spec is close enough to 0° that it can have one side positive and the other negative and the tech will still tell you it's "in spec" but it will wander all over the place. I tried a bunch of things over the years and here's what I came up with:
Toe-in 0.10" (both sides) = 1.5 mm
Caster 1.5°
Camber 0.0°
Those numbers are technically within factory spec, so what's important is that both caster and camber are the same on both sides.
Hope that helps!
Best,
gary
