guys, what do yo think about these settings. I'm trying to maximize track performance without killing my street tires. I've gone through **** loads of tires and I dont want to make things much worse.

I picked up the car today and did a little run through the turns and it felt great! the car requires less effort during turn in and I think I'll be smoother on the track. however I've not pushed the car to traction limits yet so i cant judge how that has changed. it really tough to evaluate performance changes like this without being on the track for obvious reasons. I hope to sort the basics before my next track day in 2 weeks so please enlighten me with your thoughts!

is it normal for caster to be off that much in the front? is something bent?

why did my rear left camber decrease so much with such a slight change on the right rear?

Default not sure I really need to spend the money on it.

I might hold off for a bit. plus corner balance its like 2hundo!! dude lets do it to yuor car first, @ least you have coilovers!!


this is really the first alinenment the car has had under my ownership. I was checked a year a go butr seemed close to spec sio they didnt move anything.

but i still think I might need mmore toe up front. and what its up with thatcamber on the rightrear

Default my car isn't nearly as low as your's.....

the rear fender hieght is just over 25". and both sides are slightly out of spec. i was told the ajusting eccentrics were all the way out. unless you're wwilling to install cpp adjustable toe links, i think your going to have to live with it.

Default rear camber is set side to side, independent... you can adjust it yourself...

by spinning the camber bolt... I am thinking of getting one of those track alignment things... like they have in the back of GRM....
