Thumbs up Pettit Racing Alignment Specs

Here are the alignment specs off of Pettit Racings sight.. For some reason they've deleted this information from the "FAQ" section...

I'm running SO3's with the "Street" settings dialed in.... It really makes a positive handling difference over stock specs.. I'd also recommend you rotate tires at each oil change... it'll extend their life..

Good luck,

Rich

The link doesn't work. I have 18"s on the way and need these specs. Also does anyone know if these specs are for Fd's with stock springs or with lowering springs?

I recently changed my alignment settings to the Pettit long track settings. Before the change, the car wanted to go straighter. The front end was way out of alignment, and the car had way too much understeer. The new alignment makes the car feel much more "tossable" and responsive. I can't comment on tire wear at this point. Given the way I drive the car, I don't think it will be a problem.
