I have read all the posts, I mean ALL! Plus allignment bibles, and made a table of all the allignment specs I could gather and am more than confused, I need help I know, its too subjective and one persons opinion is totally different to anothers, perhaps my quest will just create more confusion! Anyway here goes!

AP1 2000 lowered 30mm F&R with BC Racing coilovers pillowball top mounts, 30 way adjustable dampers. 10kg spring rates F&R. 17/215/44 front and 17/245/40 rear goodyear FI assymetricals for daily (very) spirited driving and 16/205/55 front and 16/225/50 rear with Toyo 888s for future track days. 3 braces fitted. Sway bars original

On the road I drive fast, always, and the roads are very good but twisty mountain roads very little motorway driving, track days are new to me but hope to do several a year. It is always dry here, (Algarve Portugal) so no slipery roads.

After fitting new coilovers, discs, hoses pads etc I need to do an alignment, I realise this will be a work in progress but want to start off with the best possible figures to suit my type of driving, its pretty much spirited to agressive all the time.

My idea is this:
Front camber -1.3
Toe out .03
Castor 6.45 or maximum possible equall both sides

Rear camber -2.3
Toe in .15

Any comments and advice will be greatly appreciated, as my idea above is guess work!

PS I did a DIY static and corner weighting excercise with my wt in it. Static 51L/49R 50/50FR Corner 50.1%

 

Self Bump

Isn't there anybody over the ocean with some ideas?

Me and the wife will be in Orlando for Christmas and New Orleans for New year so if there is anything S2000ish going on PM .

Cheers

 

some people may not agree with me. buy you need to think like this especially with camber is the tire square when it hits the floor. If you run a tire that has a curved foot print you can go with more camber. Now you need to know what type of track you are going on mainly lefts or rights. are there allot of banked turns. Ill give an example. On Pocono north going clockwise witch mainly consists of right hand turns ill go max caster always -3 camber left front - 2.25 right front -2.5 camber rear both in the rear. I would like to go more in the left rear but i don't have the adjustment. when ever you are turning the wheels that are on the outside of the turn want to go positive camber so you have to go more negative in those wheels. As far as toe is concerned front is at 0. and rear is at 3/16 in in the rear it makes the back of the car turn so nice. this wheel aliment is not good for tire life but the car handle so go on mostly right handed turn tracks. So with this in mind change your aliment when you go to the track for the types of turns you are going on. Then when you go back on the street change to what you have that not bad.maybe a little less negative camber in the rear for tire life. be mindful all of my toe measurements are in inch.

 

I think the setup you posted up there sounds pretty good for your setup and what you are trying to accomplish. Try it out and then adjust from there according to your driving style.
