Was wondering what people who understand this stuff think of my new alignment specs. I tried to use the search to find some specs, found lots of threads but drew a blank on settings. I wanted it tweaked for auto-x / track, the car is stock 03 on street tires:

Camber FR: 0.7
Castor FR: 6.0
Toe FR 0.0

Camber RR: 1.6
Castor RR: 0.6
Toe RR: 0.30

Immediately Inoticed the car feels a bit sharper to turn in and the wheel feels easier to turn? I tested it out briefly in a rainstorm on my private track its got a bit more grip/ rear lets go a bit sharper. Main thing is no understeer into 4 wheel drift like I had with the UK alignment spec on my old car.

Would this alignment be ok to use with stagerred set of Toyo R-888's on the stock 16's?

 

What were your specs before? What did you change from your old setup?

Off the top of my head, your alignment seems pretty close to US Spec...? I probably would've maxed out front camber (I did on my car, but only got like 1.2-1.5 degrees), but you might have a different preference. I recommend you run a couple auto-x's on it and see how it feels.

 

It was stock before I guess I doubt its ever been done on a five year old car so it was quite out. I think next time I will take him some specs.

 

No. You will need a lot more camber for the R-888's to be effective.

 

I am gonna get this tweaked to:


Camber F/R: -1.0 / -2.0
Castor F/R: 6.0 /0.6
Toe F/R: 0.0/ 1/8"

Not sure if 1/8" is less or more than 0.30 but I am understanding the car will be more tail happy at 1/8" but probably wear the rear tires less?

does having less rear toe make it "saveable"? I'd rather have it a tail happy and correctable than grip grip grip then completely swap ends
