My 2nd free alignment from Winnipeg Honda is coming up soon and I figure this is the one that counts now that the springs have had time to settle after getting the suspension spacers removed.

I auto-x the car, so I was wondering what you other stock-class autocrossers have for alignment specs. What should I be specifically requesting? As much camber as possible while staying within factory specs? Anything else to note?

The print-out from my first alignment is here: http://members.shaw.ca/nishanna/s2k/align.pdf

Thanks in advance!

 

 

for autox....
how extreme do you want to be?
this is what I have,
Camber 1.7 up front 2.5 in the rear, 6.5? caster, 0 toe up front and I think its a half degree toe in in the rear... if you want to be more aggressive for autox put a little toe out in the front

 

Ahh, now that this thread was moved to the right forum (thanks to the mod who did that), I now see that there is a FAQ with the answer I was looking for.

Front toe - 0" to 1/8" toe out
Front camber - -1.5 to -1.75 degrees

Rear toe - 1/4" to 3/8" toe in
Rear camber - -2.0 to -2.25 degrees

Hopefully this is a good setup for AP2's. What settings do you guys use for caster?

 

I also should ask... how is this alignment setting for the street? The car isn't a trailer-only vehicle as I drive it on the street (I also auto-x on street tires).

 

Max it out, should be somewhere around 6.5 both sides. But with my camber at -1.3 I could only achieve 5.5 on the drivers side so I just evened them up at 5.5

 

I would go with 0 toe in the front. If you run toe out, you will shred the inside 1/3rd of the tread on your street tires fairly quickly. The car turns in so well, that I don't think you need toe out in the front unless you are at the top of your class and trailering the car to events.
