is it ok to use UK spec alignments on AP2?

i need an alignment soon but not sure if UK spec is ok on AP2.

dropped 1 inch with 18inch wheels that occasionally rub in front on hard bumps.

 

Good question, and one I've been wondering about too. Hope someone in the know chimes in.

 

The answer I got last time I asked was no. The UK spec was done to correct some issues with the AP1 that were later fixed on the AP2.

The local track guys say UK spec is good on any S.

So I don't know which is right.

I am running OEM spec (from the manual) right now and the car feels completely neutral. I also noticed the car was set to something different from the factory. I was getting huge understeer before I did the alignment.

 

I have been running the UK spec for about a year now and noticed a big difference. The rear end is certainly more planted and the steering feel is more weighted and not as sensitive with the stock specs. This is due to the increased negative camber. I find I can drive the car smoother through turns due to the heaveier steering feel. I like it, my only suspension mod. Try it, if you don't like it go back to factory specs. The only bad thing is you may see accelerated inner tire wear, more so in the rear.

for sure.. ive been running the setup on my car.. i honestly love it. I feel the car is more planted... like Boofster stated.. the steering is a lil heavier.. but all in all.. im definetly sticking to these specs.. next option aftyer... new set of Reo1r tires after these are worn.. i was looking for more understeer.. and i got it... i feel the cars a lil more predicatble...

 

Why would you want more UNDERSTEER?

Geez these cars are not that bad with oversteer to begin with. I want better turn in and a little MORE oversteer, I get too much understeer in autocrossing as is and have to drive sloooow on sharp turns becuase of it, it's ok at higher speed corners though.

 

i want more oversteer. tends to push with not enough throttle.
