All,
I'm too lazy to do the research and I'm sure one of you have the Euro Alignment numbers.
As you may, or may not know, the Euro alignment is simply better than the factory specs. It is less "twitchy".
I currently have an auto-cross alignment that is too outrageous for the street.
Anyone have the Euro specs?

Thanks,
CB

0* toe, 1* camber, 6.5(ish)* caster front
1/32 toe in, 2* camber rear


(off the top of my head, not sure how accurate it is...but it's pretty close to what I run - 0* toe, 2.5* camber, max caster front, 0 toe, 3* camber rear)

Sounds about right...
Is the rear a total thrust angle, or 1/32 each?

I did search our site and found:

UK Alignment Specs

front castor 6.45
front camber -1.0
front toe 0.0
rear camber -2.0
rear toe 0.20 total 0.40

Is this the stuff?
Man... my alignment was last groomed for aggressive tracking. I don't track any longer. I learned enough and beat the crap out of my car enough just short of turning it into a total track car.

My current alignment settings are:

front castor 7.8
front camber -2
front toe 0

rear camber -3
rear toe 0

I highly suggest cranking up the front castor if you track road courses... it helps eliminate understeer.

Thanks!

Your track specs are good and will be fine for the street and your tires shouldn't have any trouble with un even wear. But the euro spec is really good and I recommend (sp) that to everyone with a stock car.

Honestly, I love my current alignment spec.

Granted, I'm on a non-stagger setup (hence the extra front camber) and wish I had a wing/stiffer front bar, but for daily driving (which is what I do), your current alignment spec is going to give you excellent performance without excessive tire wear.

(remember: Toe is what causes inside tire wear - I have a stack of tires that will show this to be true )

I am running my own version of the UK.

Front Camber -1.5 is my only change from the standard UK.

If you can, sit in your car while this is being done or place the equivalent weight in the car for your "normal" driving conditions.

Front
Caster Left 6 deg 45"
Caster Right 6 deg 45"
Camber Left -1 deg 00"
Camber Right -1 deg 00"
Toe Left 0.0"
Toe Right 0.0"
Total Toe 0.0"

Rear
Camber Left -2 deg 00"
Camber Right -2 deg 00"
Toe Left 0.20"
Toe Right 0.20"
Total Toe 0.40"

Didnt want to open another thread,

I went to get the euro alignment done, at first the tech looked at me and asked if I really wanted this aggressive set up. I said yes and tire wear was not an issue. He then came to me in the middle of adjusting it and said this was the closest he could get. Car feels pretty good, drives straight. Am I off enough to make a huge difference?

I don't know if I am misreading that, but it looks way off. They can get it slightly closer than that. You should be 5-6 degrees in castor. 0 toe in the front.

Where did you take it?

Network Alignment. I've heard nothing but good things about them. They do have a 6 month warrenty I guess i could take it back and have them do it again, I just hate waiting.
