Default CR Alignment Specs

so i was wondering what the cr specs are so i can bring them in when i get my alignment. i've searched a few times and it comes up with threads of people recommending the cr alignment, but no specs. so if anybody knows them, i would appreciate it if you shared with me lol

thanks in advance

because uk spec was set up and designed for ap1. i feel like the cr will be closer to my setup.

Only difference is to the rear toe settings...otherwise the same as normal ap2.

why does it matter how close to original spec?

just go for what gives you the best... are you trying to maximize tire life? auto-x duty? overall performance?

uk spec is well-rounded... not too extreme, doesnt kill tires, but definitely noticeable.

The alignment specs should be in your owners manual as well. Take it with you.

thank you negcamber.

wyatth, i may try it some day, but you have an ap1 and ap2's have a revised suspension geometry which will make it behave differently, which i'm sure you already know. basically, honda didnt make the uk alignment for the ap2, they made it to dumb down the oversteer on the early ap1's if i remember correctly.

thanks indymac, but i dont have a cr, thats why i was asking.

i have a MY04 on the UK settings. 225f/255r dunlop star specs. It handles fairly neutral with a tad of understeer, as i havent found the limits to get the rear out in speed. (low speed turns 20mph below, i can get the rear out). IDK what tires/suspension you are running, but i really believe the UK works for an AP2.

you are totally right about revised suspension geometry...
but the alignment only changes camber, toe, caster, thrust... which shouldn't be too dependent on the suspension changes in an ap2.

but, proceed as you will. let us know how you like it!

These are the basic settings im running on my CR for the solo2 national tour events this year. I cut back on the toe with the stiffer spring rates compared to my '05. So far, they have worked out very well and have excellent turn in and balance.

-2 camber front

-2.5 camber rear

1/16 toe out front

1/16 toe in rear

Max Caster
