Thumbs up 1fookntiteFD's alignment specs

Ok, i've been neglecting to post this but here it is. This setting is good for auto-x or road race. When paired with S03's it virtually eliminates understeer and that unpleasant twitchy handling that is known in FD's. Also the car has very neutral steering and handles very predictably, when you get sideways, it is very easy to regain control. So here it is:

Front:
camber -1.9
caster:6.7
toe: -.06
SAI 15.5
Included Angle: 14.0
Cross camber: .1
Cross caster .4
total toe -.12

Rear:
camber -1.8
Toe .07
Total Toe .18
Thrust Angle -.02

hope this someoe finds this useful, if anyone else has a setup we should make this a sticky for future references and have everyone post their set up

[B]Nothing unusual on those numbers except I have a question on what units were used?

Front:
camber -1.9
caster:6.7
toe: -.06
I'm assuming camber is in degrees?
Caster looks like in degrees too?
This toe setting is a bit vague - it looks to be in inches?

RETed, you're absolutely right, everything is in degrees except for caster which is in inches.

artowar2- I'm running 235/45/17 in the front, 255/40/17 in the rear with S03's
