Default Aggressive alignment settings

Since the TT is now an infrequent driver I am taking it in for corner balancing next week and to have the alignment set a little more aggressive. What settings should I go for that will give me a semi-aggressive setup for the track, but not trash the tires to bad on weekend jaunts?

Default But as a follow up question, what suspension mods do you need to be able to set alignment?

I seem to remember the stock adjustability is pretty minimal. My suspension is now 104kmi old so I might be buying some parts in the near future... and the car pulls a little bit to the right.

Default Not a whole lot of adjustment stock.

You can get kmacs or adjustable arms for the rear to get camber and toe adjustment. For the front I think the only available option is the ground control camber plates and there are ride penalties with that setup.

Default Max camber on the front..>>

Depending on how low you are, this will be between -.8 and -.1.0. "0" toe

On the rear, i like a -1.6 setting for camber. Up to a -1.8 or -2 would be a bit more aggressive but feel "Heavier" the higher you go there. Figure toe-in at about 1/16" side..

Would the front camber be any different with a FWD Steve?

Default I run -1.5, w/toe at +.15 >

its just a bit out of spec (-1.28 'max' as I recall); toe compensate for the camber, and it corners 'quite well' ;-)
