Recommended Alignment settings

[Kev]

Does anyone have a good set of numbers for an alignment? The suspension is stock, with 17" wheels. My driving is mostly just street, but I'm hoping to get a few sessions on the track this summer.

My bad... that's what happens when I type while eating lunch.

if you want to do an alignment within stock adjustment range:

- max front negative camber while keeping it even (try to get it done with you sitting in the car) you should be able to get in the ~1 degree range at least, make sure both bolts are loosened and push on the top of the wheel and pull out the bottom.

- 0 toe all around for best tire wear, if u dont care about tire wear, you can play with the toe to influence turn in and stability


that's all that could be adjusted stock. if you want more, the next step would be camber bolts in the rear. this will allow you to pull back some negative camber (there is too much).

if you really got budget, you can get camber plates in the front and add more negative camber up front.

Thanks. I'll keep it stock for now... do the camber plates later if I have time/money to properly upgrade the whole suspension.
