Default alighnment issues...

tried searching but no real answer. my car is lowered on tein S springs, and now if i hit a bump at a decent speed (40 plus) it feels as though the rear wiggles. I know i need an alighnment but would should it be set at? Factory specs or should it vary from factory due to lower ride hieght? My car sees more street than track, but i track i when ever i can so if there are different specs for track and street i would rather set it up for track. Thanks guys!

codependent are we??

A track alignment depends on what you can live with on the street.

BUT rear bump issues CAN be dealt with using the stock settings for toe in the rear.

Also, if you have not taken you car to the alignment rack since you lowered your car, you definitely should. You've probably increased your camber all around and camber and toe are dependent on each other in the rear so the rear toe is probably not optimal.

If you want to set it up for the track then I would max out the camber front and rear and stick with stock rear toe settings and keep the front toe at 0 or a little toe it for stability.
