Default Now onto the wheel alignment I did after the suspension installation.

I basically left my suspension read coilovers set at the same settings as last year. But because I am installing new stiffer springs in the rear it is understandable that the rear will be higher than last year. I will not get into the rear set up yet because it is still not to my likings as of today. We will work on it again soon.

Anyway the front sits at about 24 3/4 inches from the ground to the top of the fender. I would like the rear once finished to be around 25 inches. That's correct a 1/4 inch positive rake.

The front alignment is set like this for now;

CAMBER at -2.25 degrees

CASTER at 7.0 degrees (approx.)

TOE at 0.00 degrees

The total weight of the car in race trim (no spare, tools, first aid kit ECT) 1/3 gas tank and the regular driver's seat because my race seat is still at the paint shop is ONLY 3352 lbs.

The corner weights are as follows for each axle;

Left front = 1033 lbs ------- Right front = 1074 lbs

Left rear = 719 lbs ---------Right rear = 688 lbs

-------------- 51.0%-------------------49.0%

The percentage is in a criss/cross method and is only 2% off which is well within the limits.
