Default Best Autocross alignment...

Hey Jason,

Do you agree with the alignment specs from the "Racing" forum...

Front toe - 0" to 1/8" toe out

Front camber - -1.5 to -1.75 degrees

Rear toe - 1/4" to 3/8" toe in

Rear camber - -2.0 to -2.25 degrees


How bad will this be on my crappy street tires?

This will not cause too much wear on street tires. But don't forget caster.

Try to get 6 on caster. The only problem will be camber. With more camber you get less caster. I am running -1.7 camber in the front with 5.6 caster.

Sorry for not responding sooner, I have been on Vacatn all week.


DISCLAIMER: I am by no means an expert at autocrossing. I can only offer you my experiences.

As for the alignment settings listed in the racing forums, They are just suggestions. My only thoughts are that 3/8 of toe in seems a bit excessive. This could be caused by tire selection.

Personally I run the following settings.

Front toe: 1/8" out

Front Camber: -1.5 (I have ran with as much as 2.0, but was not a good setup for events around hear.)

Caster: 5.5 (could not feel a difference between 5.5 & 6.0)

Rear toe: 1/4" in

Rear Camber: -2.0 (I have ran with as much as 2.25, but was not a good setup for events around hear.)

This alignment feels really stable on just about any course and on the highway. This is important to me see as how my car is a daily driver.
