Hey Paddock people,
With a dedicated track car, whats your alignment setting? My dad and I set ours up with what we thought is right. After about 10 track days I removed the RA1's and noticed the wear pattern isn't even. I can't remember if the front or the rears were more uneven. I flipped them around on the rims to get them to last longer. Any help, as always, is much appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Shane |

I've got a related question.
Setting camber and caster on the front axle, just loosening the three M10 bolts and then trying to move the top mount it pretty hard. Do you use anything to leverage it inwards/backwards or how do you do it? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Raising the front wheels off the ground and a BF rubber mallet works too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Doing an alignment on mine this afternoon and hopefully geting Close to the following for my 95% street and 5% slalom/autocross usage: Front Camber: -1,5 Toe in: 1 mm on each side Caster: 5,5-6 somewhere Rear: Camber: -1 Toe in: 1 mm om each side. |

Those cambers are very aggressive for a street car and will result in rapid tire wear on the inside shoulder. Even 3/4 degree all around will result in significantly shortened tire life. |
