Default ap1 with CR alignment?

im going to be going to Harris Hill Road in San Marcos, Texas this Saturday and i heard from a friend that i could get the CR alignment on my 2003 ap1. i have never heard about this on a ap1 and i wanted to know if anyone out there knows if that a good thing or a bad thing. i know that the suspension is stiffer but i want to know if it will benefit me at the track?

Dunno...will this be your first time out? If it is, you probably won't know the difference until you're in the advanced classes running faster. Whatever the CR specs are or if you use the UK alignment specs, it's just a more aggressive alignment. Great for the track. The drawback will be increased tire wear if you daily your car.

your alignment should be based on the stats of your car.. not a generic one. if it's your first time out there .. it doesnt matter.. just go have fun

isn't the cr staggered? and there for that alignment would be useless on the ap1?

secondarily, I will look for you out there. A group of 10-12 of us are taking a drive up there to see h2r during the event

good point, i was thinking about the peeps that run a non staggered setup. With that correction, I will rephrase.

Isn't the stagger on the ap2 a litttle bit more? still making an ap1 alignments useless
