OK I have the 5 bolt conversion done, she is a also a 6 cyl. now. What alignment recommendations are out there for track use? 205/50 x15x 7"wheels on front, 225x50x15 x8" wheels on back with DOT Yokohama Advan tires.
Watkins Glen - Black run group and I will be running her hard. I can get up to 2 degrees of negative camber, maybe a little more. Caster looks to be about 5 1/2 positive. I was guessing that 1/8" total positive toe may be what I'd want. TIA Bill Kohnke & Mrs Murphy |

the optimum rear toe settings really depend upon the type of suspension bushings you are using.
the general rule on camber and caster is to get as much of each +/- respectively as you can on the weaker side and match the other to that.... but stock bushings and poly bushings require different toe when compared to a roller bearing or mono-ball... and to get away with zero toe, you really need to bracing. we run -2.8 camber at all 4 and zero toe, but also have toe lock bars and without them you can't get away with that: Attached thumbnail(s)
