Pettit Alignment Spec Feedback
 

first off im very smart about posting... yes it is in the archives yet there is no real feedback on them. did a search and there isnt much also. i know this should be in the susp. forum yet i would like to post it here for a greater response. this also would be better in the 3gen forums so we keep it to 3 gen specs. some people may also read this and thank me for now having a nice properly aligned responsive car!

with that being said i was hoping for some feedback as to the long term wear on these specs and please specify what wheels and tire sizes you had. a bonus would be to what tires you were running! lets work together here and help all of us handle better!

Had a peek just now, that seems like a reasonable guideline... my setup is a bit different. I havent a clue on tire wear on the street but on the track it is alot better than i expected.

I went camber: -1.5front -1.2 rear, Caster: 7*, Toe: 0 all around. This is very stable and with slight adjustments to the shocks and tire pressures very neutral and lets me get on the gas fairly early out of a corner. Oh tires are 245/45/16

There is quite a bit of feedback out there...I know I have posted on a couple different settings myself.

What wheel diameter and what uses are you primarily interested in?

I have stock 94 suspension, and stock wheels with 245/45 Toyo T1-R street tires. Initially, I used the long track settings. With those settings, I found that the car tended to understeer a lot more than I wanted. Getting around an autocross course was very difficult. I changed the front camber to -1.6, and found some improvement, but not enough, even for the street. It was still understeering. I didn't want to ruin my tires with more negative camber, so I put in an OEM 93 (stiffer) rear sway bar. This has given me a nice compromise. Pretty good on the street, and pretty even tire wear (so far) :D

i have 18's on the car non staggered fit. im going to be puttin new tires on soon so just wanted to get the car re-aligned. looking into going with some staggered wheels at the end of the summer when i have the money but the motor wants all of my money right now.

Do you just drive the car on the street, or do you do auto-x/track days? Still stock suspension?
