Howdy!!!

Well, here's what our car came with from the factory:

Front Left/Right
Camber -0.2deg/-0.5deg
Caster 7.8deg/5.7deg
Toe -0.05"/-0.10"

Rear Left/Right
Camber -1.4deg/-1.8deg
Toe 0.1"/0.07"

What we set it to - the settings were done by Greg Fordahl (multi time national champion for Solo II and active road racer) - he's a good friend and owns a shop here in the seattle area www.fordahlmotorsports.com

Since the specs below increase camber/change toe, know that your tires *may* wear a bit more. But what fun is a few thousand more miles when it makes the car behave badly?

They always add weight to the driver's seat before setting an alignment to simulate the driver - I think my hubby said they'd put 180-190 lbs (my hubby's weight...)

Front Left/Right
Camber -1.4deg/-1.5deg
Caster 7.8deg/5.7deg
Toe -0.02"/-0.02"

Rear Left/Right
Camber -1.9deg/-1.9deg
Toe 0.09"/0.08"

We managed to do quite well with just the alignment on the crappy street tires at a local autocross (uhm, the new car's tires SUCK compared to the S02's...) My hubby had second fastest time of the day, with that same Greg Fordahl taking the top spot in a Hoosier-clad Boxster S. I was seventh fastest, out of 134 drivers. NW Region has a lot of champs so Ron's time was VERY good for a basically stock car!

Have fun!

Annie
Thanks!
