This is how my setup behaves on track.

S2k CR
17x8.5 BBS RG-R
255/40/17 RS3, non-staggered
(stock exhaust)

-3.5 front camber, 0 toe
-3.6 rear camber, 5/32" toe-in

As you can see, the rear doesn't really step out...

thx guys! i'm going to have to buy a set of dedicated track wheels. what offset r u guys running to put on 255 width? do u guys roll and pull front fender to prevent rubbing?

which camber kits u guys get to run -3 and beyond? and what exactly is an antibump steer kit i hear? never heard of such things in the civic scene. thx again!

You should work your way up to non-staggered. A FR drivetrain is very different from a FF. If anything, start with the J's or Hardrace camber joint to get more front camber. Start with your 225/255 tire setup on OEM wheels. Once you figure out how to handle the FR setup, jump up to non-staggered and run some SPC ball joints in the rear.

Most wheels with 255 will require you to roll. If you get 17x9 +63, you will not need to roll, but your fender liner will be rubbed away eventually. Any other offset will require you to roll.

Even with 225/255, you can setup the car to slide based on alignment setup and driving input. Staggered has understeer, but it's vastly safer to learn how to drive with that setup than to run straight to non-staggered. (video also shows me breaking in that new OE replacement clutch nicely...)

wow what a good read. thanks fellas, im switch to CR shocks and swift springs and was hoping for some answers. but in my case i want to stay staggered set up for the rest of the season. i will be auto crossing. any of you guys running a gendron FSB? if you are please help with any set up tips, alignment etc. thank you. i have an ap2 2006, i am keeping the rear sway as from what i read it is the softest one.
