I wonder if the Toe setting is a miss-print for the R models. I have no clue why they would want toe in on the front of a track car. Given the suspension isn't any different there is no reason why the tire would want that. The extra camber I could see.

Is there a pdf for this?

I almost started a thread for possible alignment specs so this is great!

It may be for stability under braking since the wheels are so light. That's my best guess if the specs are accurate. It's just a tiny amount of total toe in, only about 1/32nd. It's extremely close to 0°.

Does anyone actually take their car in to change the alignment prior to a track day and than take it back in to change it back to the street alignment? $$$

That alignment spec does not look very extreme, I was going to take mine to have it checked before a track day anyway. I wonder what the stock spec is?

Some aftermarket plates out there make it fairly easy to mark off different alignment settings and then adjust via hand as necessary for camber and caster at least. Not sure about toe.

Yeah...no. I'll toe bang on 0 for all four corners regardless. Caster camber plates are definitely something I will be interested in though.

Back to the OP's question. I know those are FP catchers but does anyone have any more info?
