Finally got my performance alignment

[nastang87xx]

So after having my fender smashed in and then a week later getting my window busted, I finally was able to get to the alignment shop and get some work done. I'm very happy with the results. I have Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates and they claimed -1.75 camber. We were able to punch out -2.3 for each side and an additional .5 of caster. The rears have some flexibility built in. We put in -1.5 but we could have gotten almost -1.8. That's too much though. My rear toe was very off. Factory spec calls for .00 to .2 inches for toe and I was damn near .45. Amazingly my tires are in great shape for that kind of misalignment. I'm running R spec toe front and rear now. Looking forward to seeing how well it handles the hard corners now at the track!

Nice! That seems like a good balance between street and the occasional track day. If you track a lot and don't drive too much on the street I think you might need more camber though. I'm at -2.7 front and -2.1 rear and I'm still wearing the outsides faster than inside.

What plates are you using? Vorshlag?

I've already accepted I'm going to be destroying tires like a mad man because I did want that balance of street and track/autocross.

I have vorschlag plates and steeda adj camber links, full camber, same as above

I went the cheap route. Used the BMR camber bolts. $30. I got -2.5 in the front. Can’t change the camber like you can with plates but since the car is mostly track and autocross, I would not be fiddling with it anyway.

I also like having the idea of a nicer mount and ditching the factory ones. They weren't too bad actually despite being stamped pieces though.

Now you need a set of those sticky tires and watch those lap times drop like a rock!

My usual Firestone's alignment rack was down for re-calibration so I took my pony to another and the tech aligned it to -0.7 LF -0.8 RF rear is -1.8 LR & -1.5 RR ? I've had a run of bad tech work lately as I requested -1.5 front & rear. I may try the R- spec soon. My alignment is "all" in the "green" and handles ok but I want optimum performance for road & track.

Yup, I have Vorshlag. The rear is still stock because there's plenty of adjustment as it sits from the factory out back.

I have 71R's on 19x11's.
