 Alignement settings- suspension mod update



Looking for stock alignement settings, and also settings you all have found you like for
track and autocross

Front and rear from those of you who have installed front camber plates and and rear
camber to adjustments like those from Ireland or the camber bushings from K Mac.

I am installing the Ireland brackets (one for toe and one for camber) tomorrow at my local race shop and will need to set alignement-

Since I drive the car very little on the street anyway- I am thinking I will go for a suedo track day set up....and then kick out the camber when I get there

I am thinking about***********:

2 degrees negative camber- rear
2 1/2 degrees negative camber front

not sure what to do with toe?

Happy to consider all of your experiences..

Car will be pretty sweet: here are suspension mods!!
Koni Adj / HR Sport
RD bars front and rear with re enforcement brackets rear on sub chassis mount
K mac Camber plates front
offset Poly Urethane bushing for front A arms (VAC Motorsport)
Poly Urethane Trailing arm busings
Ireland Sub Chassis Mount Bushings
Butt Strut
HMS Harness bar ( like a 1/4 cage)
5mm spacers rear
255 / 40/17 Pilot CUP Sports
225/45/17 Pilot Cup Sport
( moving to Hoosiers this year)
Dinan Upper Strut Brace- (pretty but not worth the premium price)

I do not remember by heart. I have an alignment sheet from the dealer after they replaced my rack.

Basically I am running -2 camber in the front and about -1.8 in the rear. 0 toe front and 0.15 (around this number) toe in the rear. Everything is in spec except the front camber and toe. I have shims for the front struts thus more camber than stock and I asked them to set my toe to 0. Very nice feel combined with the TCK setup.

I am going with -2 Camber, max caster, and 0 toe in the front, and -2.25 Camber, and 1/8 toe in in the rear.

( plans are to kick out the camber at the track to -3 or -3.5)
