 Alignment specs..



Ok, I have the GC coilovers and camber plates installed and just got it aligned this morning.

Currently have the camber plates set with camber at +.6 and caster set all the way back towards the driver.

Front camber is -1.7 on both sides
Rear camber is -1.3 on both sides
Overal caster is +.62 on both sides

Drop is around 2 inches or more. Tire just barely hides behind fender in front. I have about a 1.5 inch drop in the back. I may lower the back a bit more.

Toe is set to factory stock.

Just thought I would see what you guys thought about this. Is this going to eat my tires up?

Suggest that you reduce front toe a bit. With more negative camber on the front, your tires will wear faster with stock toe setting.

Also - do you track or autox? As you add negative camber (tip the tires in at the top) toe will go out. Good thing if you want a "live" turn in, but bad if you want straight line stability.

If you run just on the street, I would tweek camber to get even tire wear and run minimal toe in at the front.

Ditto; I keep them at 1/32" to 1/16" toe out.
