What is your alignment like?

[Jean]

Share your car setup and alignment specs :)

I'll start, my front is at -2.5 , 10` of caster and almost 0 toe.

working on mine right now...waiting on camber plates..btw did you use the offset CAB bushings...looking at the delrin ones now..like as much caster as i can get!

[Jean]

Forgot about those, yes I did.

Alignment is driven by the tires you use. With RA1's I run 3.25deg of front camber with zero toe and 2.25deg or rear camber and 1/16" total toe in. I'd bump the front and rear camber up by .25deg, but with stock sized springs required for Spec E3 the front spring hat hit the strut tower. For R888's 2.5deg of front camber and 1.5 of rear matches the characteristics of the tires.

Caster comes out to what offset delrin CAB's provide.

1.5 neg all around, dont have adjustment in the front yet. .1 degrees of toe in each side i think. Castor is around 9.6

~-2.5 up front, -2.0 in the back, 1/16" front toe in, 0 toe in rear, like 2.5 degrees of caster.. lol

-3.0 camber, 0 toe, maximum caster in the front, no idea about the rear as it is not adjustable

What cab bushing are you running. 10 deg caster huh

[Jean]

Just some off set bushings in stock mounts, but I do have GC plates.

Anyone else care to share? My car's due up for a re-alignment after I noticed my dunlops getting chewed up when on the front of the car, inboard side.... Toe changed somewhere along the way I'm guessing...

Car's like, -2.3* in the front, nearly that in the rear, was 0 toe, no idea what my caster is / was...

Thinking camber will stay the same, or possibly go -2.5* in the front, no toe at all (DD this car too). What should I do for caster, or what should I ask for?

[Gnarles]

-2.8deg camber, 0 toe, 10deg of caster in the front. -2.2deg camber, 1/16" total toe-in in the rear.

I set this up last weekend before the latest auto-x and was very happy with the results.

[Wh33lhop]

-2 camber in the front and 10.3 degrees of caster (would have gone further if I was running more camber but I hear you run into weight jacking issues with much more than ten degrees), zero toe in front. Rear is nonadjustable and came out to be -2.9 camber and 30 minutes of toe in or something.

Next alignment I'm going to see if I can get adjustable rear stuff and try for -2.5 camber and a little toe in in the front (for a bit better tire wear), and -1.5 camber, zero toe in the rear.

where are some good rear alignment kits out there? it sure be nice to adjust camber and toe in the rear. i aligned mine the other day and i have e30m3 offset cabs and it came out to be -2.4 +- .1 on the fronts and zero toe/slightly in on the front. didnt do the rear but iirc was pretty consistent for 170k being that its not adjustable not too bad. car handles great and drives straight and true. needs more low tho.

if your car feels good......and rear tire wear looks good.....and its not a dedicated track weapon,.dont bother w/ rear adjustability....you dont need it.

then again, if you go really low.....you may want it..lol

[JRKOUPE]

set up....

for my 99 % track car..that is driven to events:


neg 3.5 camber
9 and change cast.....

0 toe.


rear is like neg 2 or so camber
I cant recall toe..

but she is rock solid at tracks...and she is currently not adjustable.
