Default ap1 with CR alignment?

im going to be going to Harris Hill Road in San Marcos, Texas this Saturday and i heard from a friend that i could get the CR alignment on my 2003 ap1. i have never heard about this on a ap1 and i wanted to know if anyone out there knows if that a good thing or a bad thing. i know that the suspension is stiffer but i want to know if it will benefit me at the track?

I'm sure it will only help! The CR or euro spec alignment is designed with performace in mind not tire life for the US lol

don't know about the cr alignment, but i can highly recommend the uk alignment. car felt much better after getting this done.

tire wear will be faster though if this matters to you.

UK:
Front
Caster Left = 6.75°
Caster Right = 6.75°
Camber Left = -1°
Camber Right = -1°
Toe Left = 0°
Toe Right = 0°
Total Toe = 0°

Rear
Camber Left = -2°
Camber Right = -2°
Toe Left = +0.16°
Toe Right = +0.16°
Total Toe = +0.32°


Found the correct stock alignment specs and wanted to update for future searches:

Alignment specs:

All cars share the same front settings(00-03,04-08 and CR)

Camber...-0.50 -0.50
Caster....+6.00 +6.00
Total Toe....0.00

Rear....00-03

Camber...-1.50 -1.50
Total Toe...+0.47

Rear....04-08

Camber...-1.50 -1.50
Total Toe...+0.28

Rear....08 CR

Camber...-1.50 -1.50
Total Toe...+0.43

remember that the ap2 has different rear geometry than the ap1 so it has less bump steer
