hey I'm goin to get an alignment in the morning, to my shame i'm still runnin the eyeballed one from when i put on my suspension and im just wonderin what you guys are runnin for camber/ toe settings. i would prefer to hear from the auto-x guys who run their daily drivers as i want to get the best balance of performance and tire life. my thoughts are right now somewhere between 1.5 and 2 degrees of camber up front and 1 to 1.5 in the rear and maybe just a smidgen of toe-in up front to help with tramlining and stability. lets hear it!!!

Well, I'd say you have it about right. A bit of caster will help if you have the means available to you. With a DD, you need to find the balance, but with camber plates, you could zero it out when you're not tracking the car. I have about 1.75-2 degrees neg. camber in the rear, and zero for the street. When I get to the track I max my front neg camber at 2*. You can of course get 4* F and R, and that would be a great track set-up for turn-in.
Hope this helps.

 

when i used to daily drive my car i had -2 in the front with -1.5 to -1.7 in the rear, and maxed it out for auto-x in the front. zero toe would be your best bet between a DD and auto-x. but a little toe out in the front would help a lot in auto-x and help with turn in and lessen the plowing (understeer) that subie tend to have.

 

I run -2 front and -1 rear. I run a little more positive camber in the front to help with the rotation. I guess it really depends. From what I've heard with many GD's, is that it is hard to get the rotation. I run a GC and feel that rotation is a little better in the GC's. I would say run -1 for the rear. As for the fronts, it is really up to you. -1.5 to -2.5. One friend runs -3 while another runs as much as he can get out of the camber plates. It really depends on how much if you are auto-x'ing. If you are doing it a lot, run it -2 or -2.5. If you aren't doing it so much, maybe -1.5. Hope that helps.

Oh. Zero toe.

 

my next performance alignment I am going to ask for -2.5 front, -2 rear and a little toe out in front.

Word?

I love you?
