because the nature of our roads are different.

they have a lot more twisties than we do, and we have a lot more expressways than they do.

 

Just out of curiosity, is there a optimum alignment that the AP2's can use or does the UK alignment still apply? I will be getting an alignment soon and would like to get the settings right the first time. thanks

 

Optimum alignment is completely dependant on the application. What do you do with the car?

If you commute daily on the highway, the UK alignment is probably too agressive. If you hit the twisties regularly, it's about right. If you plan to race it, neither US nor UK spec will do. Road racing, autocross, and drag racing will all require different alignments. Even different tracks may have different "optimum" alignments.

 

Well heres the situation. I do daily drive my car and commute to work with MY06. I have a new set of 18" CE28's with a 18x7.5 +50 Front and a 18x8.5 +47 Rear. The rear rubs when taking corners aggressively. So the plan is to roll the fenders and get an alignment that will best prevent rubbing and also not to wear the rear tires to much.

I understand that with my wheels, the camber needs some adjustment but dont want to over do it. So my questions is the UK setup enough camber that it wont rub? I am also on stock suspension, and will not change until I have learned my driving style.


So any help will be appreciated. Thanks

 

Unfortunately, these two goals are working against each other for a daily driven commuter. To prevent rubbing with oversized wheels, you are going to want to max out the camber. Having more camber during agressive driving will usually help you wear the tire evenly, but more camber during the commute means you'll be spending most of the time on the inside half of the tire, wearing them unevenly and cutting down on the tire life.

I don't have enough experience with oversized wheels on this car to tell you what will fit for sure, but the UK specs seems like they might be a good compromise. If I were you I'd run the minimum camber it took to prevent the wheels from rubbing, but what that is I can't tell you.

 

Thanks, I think that i will try the UK spec Alignment and see if that will work.

 

op, i like your car
