Will be getting my S aligned in the next couple weeks and just wanted to see what some people would recommend. I am lowered 1 inch, wheels are Work emo's(17x8 +47, 17x9 +44), and tires are 215/245.

I'm looking to go for something close to the OEM numbers due to tire wear. I'm also concerned about the rears and rubbing. The rears are already rolled and I'm going to be relocating the bumper bolt soon.

What do you guys recommend for decent tire wear and not too agressive?

Thanks!!

 

The UK spec alignment or the CR alignment seem like they're right up your alley.

If you're only lowered 1'', you shouldn't have rubbing issues unless you hit a waterbuffalo or something.

The camber will go more and more negative as the suspension compresses, so even with minimal static neg. camber, you might clear your fenders since the suspension has to travel around 1.5'' or so before the wheel becomes flush with the fender. 1.5'' of compression is quite a bit. I think rubbing should be a non-issue...especially with 245/15/17s.

The CR alignment looks like it should wear the tires out slower than the regular AP2 or AP1 alignment. IIRC, the CR specs only 5.4mm of toe in for the rear vs. the 6mm for stock AP1/2.

It will oversteer a bit more with that setup, however..but shouldn't be anything dangerous.

Use either the CR or UK camber specs or around 1.5-2 deg. negative all the way around if you wanna do something slightly more aggressive.

That should be fine for tire wear unless you're doing burn outs or something.

 

do you have the specs of the cr's alignment? i've been curious about it

 

Thanks a lot

 

Are there any AP2 owners that use the UK spec? Not sure if it will work as well as it does on the AP1.

 

I used the UK alignment and it works great. I'd say try it

 

Cool, thanks.
