Alignment Strategy

[RedStallion27]

Any feedback on my planned alignment specs?

Front Camber: -2.6
Front Toe: 0
Rear Camber: -1.9
Rear Toe: 0.16 toe in

The car will be used for a handful of HPDE days each year plus <1,000 miles of street driving. I’m willing to sacrifice street drivability for track compliance. Intermediate skill level.

2016 GT Perf Pack
Stock suspension
J&M front camber plates
Track tires: Falken RT660 275/35/19 squared
Track wheels: SVE X500 19x10 +35mm (squared)
Street tires: Nitto G2 285/35/19 & 305/30/19
Street wheels: SVE S350 (front) 19x10 +40mm (rear) 19x11 +50mm

It's excellent IMO.
You may want even more front camber on track depending on wear. I posted a series of articles on alignment covering all sorts of aspects including for track days.

More front camber, everything else is solid. I'd want ~3.4 degrees to even out track tire wear.

If you want a bit better tire wear, 0.05 front toe in (driving, it will probably be closer to 0.0).

Thanks for the advice guys. How much camber can I do before the front tire rubs on the strut?

I updated my original post to show my specific wheels.

With camber plates, the strut and tire tilt as a unit. If the tire clears, it clears at all camber angles.

Oh that’s a great point. Makes sense. Thank you.
