Won't be long til we're off to alignment and corner balance. The car is mostly street use and probably a monthly autocross. 21mm bars up front and 180# adjustable coilovers in the rear. 23mm front sway bar and the front spindles are raised 19mm. Torque bias limited slip and a stock rear sway bar.
Are you guys running stock settings? I don't mind a little more aggressive but it's not an all out competition car. I'll sacrifice a little more tire wear for performance. What have you guys run that works? |

For a track car, the usual rule of thumb is "as much negative camber as you can get"--subject to the numbers being the same left to right, and close-ish front to rear. Radial tires like lots and lots of negative camber, typically.
Street cars like quite a bit less, due to concerns about tire wear. And to the fact that they aren't usually cornering as hard as a track car, so they may never use the outer part of the tire. If your car is both, you have to pick your compromise. And in the end, you will need to do testing to see what works best for your car in your particular use. Different drivers like different setups, and one driver may like different setups on different tracks. So take any recommendations as a starting point, and then do your own testing to find what works best for you. --DD |
