I'm gonna get alignment soon and tryng to decide my alignment spec.
Give me your suggestion if you have.

here's my requirements:

I wanna set it for canyon / track event
neutral steering while on gas
able to induce drift in tight turns with late braking.
stable on high speed turns
good nose-in
don't eat up tires too much on streets.

here's my suspension set up
car is old school wagon
KYB adjustable + kg/mm springs (soft&low)
stock Impreza L front sway bar, I think this is small
FHI 20mm rear sway.
225/45/17 all around

I'm thinking
stock alignment spec (corrected for lowered car height) with a little bit of negative camber in the front, maybe 0.5 to 1 degrees.
I don't think I want to mess with toe too much because it might eat up my tires fast just cruising on freeway.

How would this set up be? should I put more camber in front if I can?

 

my setup for street/track is...

front: -1.5 w/ 1 toe out

rear: stock spec

eats up my tires fast (s-03s) ..

 

on my WRX wagon with eibach's and MRT camber/caster plates... I am running -2 degrees front camber, 4 degrees of castor and -1.7 in the rear with 0 toe all around.

I autox the car and use it as a daily driver about 400 miles a week! The thing corners like a b*tch and the added camber allows you to fit 225's under the fenders!

 

thanks for the input!

well I went to alignment today.
The place I went is where guys in the Porsche club and BMW club go and they do race car alignment too.
The guy knew exactly what I wanted he aligned my car with me sitting on the driver's seat!!
so i was up on the lift for about an hour....

My setup is

Fr. -1.25camber/ +3.5caster/ 1/16in toe out total
Rr. -1.5camber/ +-0 toe
I don't have camber plates

I have GC body Impreza but I have 225/45/17 fitting no problem.... well,... I rolled the fender...

I don't have coilover but if I did, he would have corner weighed.
He would loosen the subframe if needs to. Awesome guy.

I haven't really tested yet, but judging from how it behaves on freeway, seems like my car has a lot sharper handling now and the steering responce is quicker I felt.

I'll hit up canyons tonight to test it out. can't wait..

 

So where did you have this done?

 

Ohh So-cal guys, yeah here's the place I went
