Holla Amigos,

I just recently dropped my car ~2'' or so on Fortune Auto 500 coilovers. Now that it is down and dirty, the rear camber is horrendous and id like my new Hankook Ventus V12's to last me plenty of miles (ill have a sticky set of tires on aggressive wheels next summer). So the question is what is an optimum camber, caster and toe setting i can get from Firestone. I've read lots of threads but they are for more aggressive set ups with aftermarket wheels/tires, im on stock wheels for winter.

If i had to guess id do this: 1.5 camber all around, 0 toe and stock caster... Please feel free to input your advice an experiance!!!

 

the answers are two posts down from yours.

if the tyre wear is all you worried about - then your sigestion is good.
just do some toe in at the rear.
1.5-2.0 mm is enough.

 

I am wanting these tires to last 1-2 years (winter) but i do value performance and especially safety, would you reccomend something different?

 

p.s. thanksk for the advice croc

 

tire wear and performance do not go hand in hand.

 

the toe is going to be the big killer of tires, not the camber.

I had good luck when I was dding my car with these specs:

Front
Caster 6.0
Camber - 1.4
toe - 0.0

Rear
Camber -2.3
toe - .2 degrees total toe in (.1 degree each side)

When giving these measurements for toe, be sure to specify if they are in inchs or degrees so as not to confuse the technician.

 

thanks a lot guys.. GTII im gonna just stick w these specs you suggested, im doing Firestone's lifetime alignment special so worst case i can change it for free! thanks again

 

No problem. Let us know how you like the handling once its on there. They are general alignment suggestions we use for lowered street cars. We can help you tweak the alignment as needed. The staff here at GT Motoring has a lot of experience with these cars on the street and the track, both in competitive and non-competitive events.

Thanks,

Austin
