06 sti, rce black springs, group n topmounts/ ohlin struts. Supposedly I have rear extended camber bolts as well, but the guy said he couldn't adjust them at all.

Front camber
L-(-1.1) R-(-1.0)
caster
L-(-4.7 R-4.8)
Toe
L-0.00 R-0.00

REAR OF CAR
camber
L-(1.8) R-(-1.5)
TOE
L-(-.01) R-(-.01)

thrust angle=.01



Should this alignment be able to be improved upon?? Car has not been wrecked or anything.

Thank you.

 

The specs don't look super off for a street car that doesn't have camber plates.

You really want to max out the Positive Castor in front

 

Too much camber in the rear.

 

I always thought my car had rear camber bolts that were extended, anyway i can tell by looking?

 

I don't know about extended camber bolts but regular ones are thinner than the normal bolt and they have a little tab sticking out on them.

 

yeah for RCE blacks it does look like a tiny much.

 

More front camber (-1.5 for street use) less negative (-1.0), as much castor as your setup will allow you to dial in.

Unless you are tracking/AutoX you don't need any toe.

For better advice call Brandon Krauss at Roger Krauss racing. Good prices and no bull**** advice

Brandon is the current US Touring Car Champion.

 

+1 for Roger Kraus Racing!

slow04wrx, your specs are fine for daily driving.

 

I heard the Acks boys got a pretty slick alignment system that's 'Good Enough' LOL

Any good Scooby meets going on before the next autoX Eric?

 

Damn right! Acks Racing Alignments is good enough! However, not everyone is good enough to get an alignment from my brother. You know Evo drivers

A meet with a good number of people showing up is the Wednesday meet in Fremont

 

Yeah heading to the track but just pist because it the guys attitude was the numbers didn't need to match perfectly and this was close enough.

stock spec is -1.4 rear, -.3 front so I think I'll have a place you recommended try to match the rear up.

 

What does stock spec have to do with anything. LOL!

So you're just going to have someone match up the numbers?

 

The stock spec has to do with it being -1.4 and I'm not planning to decrease it to -1.0 I'm not really sure why people would say that is too much for the rear for the sti? (also I said that because I just realized it's in the owners manual and couldn't find it before), rather my concern is the fact is -.3 off in the rear so yes I'm going to have someone try and get that matched closer and at closer to -1.5 or -1.4
for the front I'm going to see if they can get some more - camber out of it, as well as get them matched up. Planning to take it to the roger kraus racing.

 

I try to keep mine as close to even as possible.

I don't think it's too much in the rear... IF you're running closer to -2.5 up front. Running more camber in the rear than the front promotes understeer. That's why they do it from the factory that way. Makes for a safer driving car for the average driver... NOT a better handling one. But to each their own. Some folks like the way FWD cars handle.

 

So you think I should try to get more up - up front? I just didn't want the car to be hard to drive. I mainly do rougher pavement canyon roads for my enjoyment. Wasn't sure if that would make it harder to control the rear end on bumpy cornering.
