your toe will be off, you will get toe in

I just bought some stuff to do my own alignments, it's not too hard

Bump for an interesting thread....

What settings are you guys changing this year? Any new setups?

leet · 01-17-2008, 03:35 PM

still planning on adding -1* in the rear on my car, once it warms up that is

Highboosted · 01-17-2008, 06:06 PM

I'm going to remove a half degree of camber in front and try to stop driving it like my old rally car. I'll see if that'll stop my fronts from shouldering. At -1.2 degrees, my rears wear perfectly even, but I get terminal low speed push. At high speeds, I get near perfect 4 wheel drift from entry to just after the apex, but thats more due to my driving style and late braking than setup, if I don't brake into the entry I will push on the exit.

That and work on getting my center of gravity to move rearward by at least 4 inches.

Well if I can give my input, I do not RR with my Stealth, but I was with my 1G DSM, which was a monster fully built for the road race. Even if those cars are have some similarities I cannot advive about which upgrade are good since I did not have them on my TT. But so far with a DSM (I had the JIC FLTA2) :

Maximum front negative camber, Minimum rear negative camber. Front toe 0, Rear toe 1/16in is the way to go.

And the pressure of the tires also have it's importance :

Depends on the track, for example a counter clockwise track run cold 34lf 32rf 36rr 38lr, should be 42 hot all 4 tires.

I just made an appointment to have the car aligned on Friday.

I asked for -1.5 front / -1.0 rear camber, 0 toe front & back.

I have stock ECS struts, unplugged, Intrax springs, F&R strut tower bars, and adj. rear control arms. I will be driving the car in my first SOLO II events this summer and am hoping this will be a good starting point for alignment.

The car has Enkei RP0-1 18x9 rims, +43mm offset (I believe), 21.1lbs with 245/40/18 Falken Aziens RT-615's. I'm hoping to get at least 2 seasons out of them.

Adam's Alignment right there on 3rd street near the college, across from Van Campen.

570-326-2310

My friend Dave with the white STi recommended it. It's $120 apparently but the guy really knows what he's doing. I asked about the AWS and he scoffed at me saying it's been around for a while - so hopefully he's as good as he sounds. I can let you know how it goes next week if you want.
