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 me the cars have always been driven on the street but only a limited number of miles each year. The tires are going to get too old long before they get worn out from excessive camber. So, I've run max camber (~-1.7 deg up front, I don't remember but think about the same in the rear), slight toe out up front, and zero toe in the rear. It makes the car responsive and fun to drive. I've had little to no problem with tramlining (following grooves in the road) with this set up.
Lots of camber will wear the inside edges of the tire and it will be accelerated if you run much toe. I've found more camber, less toe to be a good set up with moderate wear and good performance. Depending on how many miles you'll be putting on it each year, I say go for the most performance you can w/o burning through tires before they they are too old and need to be replaced due to age. |
