Track alignment Specs?

Looking to hear about your guys alignment spec.

As far as camber (front and rear), toe in/out (front and rear), & caster.

I'm looking for an aggressive "race" alignment

Just wanted to hear some numbers from you guys.

I plan on tracking my 89' tii with a few suspension mods; apexi pro n1 coilovers & front/rear shock tower bars.

Also is it recommended to get rid of the rear steer?

thanks,
Andrew

Too many variables... depends on track, tires, springs, sway bar...

Roughly...

Front Camber 2-3*
Rear Camber 1.5-2*
Front Toe 0 - 1/8" out
Rear Toe 0- 3/16" in
Caster - as much as possible

Don't forget to have the car corner weighted. Camber is going to be best done with a pyrometer and by testing. Toe is going to be how you feel the car is handling.

Get the DTSS eliminators.

I just had mine tuned for the track.. I'll be playing with sway bar settings to fine tune it but this is the start...

Camber
-2.5 on front corners
-2.0 on rear corners

Caster
max up front ~6.0

Toe
0 front
-1/16 rear

My front track is also a little wider than the rear. It feels a little oversteery for my liking.. I'm looking at getting it to be a little more neutral.

(EDIT: This is a FD)
