Alignment Data

What camber/toe settings are you guys running on at a drop of about 2" front and back ? Anyone here has a print out of their 4 wheel computerised alignment ? Any recommendations on settings for better handling ?

What are you willing to compromise? What is the treadware on your tires.

I say -.75 front, -1 rear, 0 toe all around or 1/16 toe in.

Robb, Run less -camber on the back, it will help the rear rotate..

alignment is kind of a personal thing. as in what one person likes may be to much or to little for another. Like RobbClark said, what are you willing to copromise?

Me, I plan on running -1 to -1.5 in the front half that in the back -.5 or -.75, a 16th toe out in the front and mayby 0 or a 16th toe in on the back (depending on if the car is too loose or pushes.)


On a side note, I also Run an 89 Si for autocross, and we have about -3 deg camber on the nose and about -2 to -2.5 on the rear, with 1/16th toe out on the noes and 1/16th toe in on the back

yeah I know to run less negative camber in the rear, but when you are talking about a daily driver where the brunt of the turning is done by the front, you get some quicker wear there. You are running an autox prepped car daily. he may just want to get a little bit of extra handling out of his daily driver and not race it. He may not also want the rear to rotate as it can be dangerous. the numbers i posted are mild numbers that someone would want to drive daily, i think. if it was a honda dealer they would set it to as close to 0 all the way around for camber and give some toe in.
