I will be installing my Espelir Springs this weekend and will be getting an alignment in a couple weeks after the springs settle.

I am looking to get everyones opinion on what Alignment specs I should go with.....

Any and all opinions/suggestions would be great!

 

PM HECASH about settings he has some excellent ones

donnie

 

i just sent you my custom specs greg

 

Send 'em to me too, Lee. I am getting the car aligned on Saturday.

 

Anybody has any idea for settings for my car?
Ill be visiting Donnie week after next week, to have it done...

 

Well brad. Not really sure what your car IS? I think you have hinted, but have never actually said.

Also, donnie does tires, not alignments.

 

pm inbound....

 

actually, ill post 'em too....

FRONT
caster: 7.0*
camber: -0.75*
toe: -0.15" (L+R) total toe -0.30"

REAR
camber: -2.25*
toe: 0.20" (L+R) total toe 0.40"

 

Don't take others alignment specs as the bible.

Lee's alignment is really agressive namely in the rear, where most national autocrossers are using similar specs on race tires.

The more grip your tires have the more roll you get.
With that said with Lee being on street tires he is never going to get enough roll to use that -2.25 is actually just wearing his tires down, and he is losing lateral grip unless he has his pressure sub 30s in the back.

I know you autox, but if you are on street tires you don't need more than -1.8 in the back.

Same goes for the front more than -1.0 is counter productive.
Toe out the front 1/8th" and toe in the back 1/8th" to start.

Caster you can keep in factory specs until you know what you are doing.

I am not knocking Lee, his alignment is great for a racer on race rubber. Just not for a street car on street rubber.

 

pardon my ignorance, but where are yall taking the cars for alignment?

it took me almost a month last year to find a place that'll touch my uber-low, uber-old miata... i ended up at a FIRESTONE that offered me a lifetime alignment for $145...
