I'm trying to find a good starting point alignment for my new setup. The alignment specs I have below are what I was able to compile from a bunch of searching through this forum.

Car setup:
2005
CR front lip
Spoon replica GT wing
17x9 45
255 NT05
BC Racing coils with 12k/12k springs
01 front sway, 05 rear sway

Weekend and track car

What do you think of these alignment specs?

Camber
-2.2 degrees F
-2.7 degrees R

Toe
0F
+ 2/16 to 3/16 toe IN rear

Caster
Max (at least 6 deg)

Thanks

 

I get some under steer (I personally like over steer more than under) with my wing even with 245's all the way around, all i did was toe out the rears an 8th... problem solved. for me anyways just my 2cents

1/8 out from 0, again its all on how the car is set up. I had my wing super aggressive and it was causing the car to push, i really needed an increase in turn in. and corner exit oversteer wasnt bad at all. it did want to come out in really slow corners as any rear wheel drive car would with to much gas...

just play with it till you find a good balance.

 

any other recommendations or thoughts?

 

If this is a weekend/track car...

Why not consider getting more camber, with a camber kit? I run -3F, -3.2R and it works great for me with perfectly even wear on the tires. I do think running in the -3 range gives great results on times and tire wear/longevity.

I used to run that kind of difference in F&R camber, and with 3/16 toe-in it was very easy to manage, actually gave me quite some push... If you want easy to manage 3/16 is a good starting point. I now run 2/16 and rotation is much much better but is remarkably more handful than 3/16...

 

biggest reason is because i don't want to buy a camber kit

thanks for the advice

 

Spot on.

Beyond_Redline. If the wing is causing understeer than I wouldn't kill the end of the car thats working. Run fatter tires up front, reduce roll bar stiffness (reduce lateral load transfer), mess around with instant center heights, run a splitter, adjust the alignment, shift weight, etc.

 

Buy one - it's well worth the investment. It's probably one of the better mods for this car, IMO.

I run Daryl's alignment in reverse (I prefer oversteer) -3.2 front and -3 rear for track use.

 

I agree... the right camber will give the right tire wear, which will save you much more money in the long run...
