Default alignment specs for CR

Has anyone one here re-aligned their CR to get rid of the under-steering that makes it push through corners? I know there's more potential there for better turns and funner cornering...

Its all about the toe settings with this car. I had mine aligned right away so I cannot comment on the factory alignment. With my current alignment, the only understeer I get is very mild on mid turn acceleration. Everywhere evlse it is mild oversteer. That is how I like my car to behave so beware, I could get you into trouble if you don't know how to handle it. If that is also the way you like it, enjoy...


Front Caster: maxed

Camber: -2 front; -2.5 rear

Toe: 1/16th out front; 1/16 in rear

I was thinking of going with the same camber and caster as sirbunz but 0 toe.

Thanks for those specs. I will try them.

I loved the way my '00 AP1 (with much less rubber) would drift through corners. I'd like to get some of that tail-happy feeling back.
