HPDE Alignment

[TundraOnKings]

Hey Folks,

I found camber specs, and also toe - tried to adjust the car accordingly. Wondering if this looks like a good start on alignment for HPDE track days.
Is 10-11 degrees toe okay for the rear? I told them zero, but they didn’t do zero.

Yeah man, that rear toe is perfect. A little toe in is great for keeping the rear stable when accelerating out of corners. I wouldn’t want zero toe back there (street or track).

alignment looks good, send it. Next time for for a little bit more rear camber, like 1.8-2.0

Awesome! Thank you @NightmareMoon!
I did the FireStone Lifetime alignment, so I can take it back for the life of the car and adjust for no charge.
I’ll bump the rear camber in more next go around.
This Thursday is the first track day with new wheels/tires, springs, camber plates/alignment, and pads. Woot woot!

If u have unlimited allignment..
Well then put some toe out in the front. U will benefit on turning
Rear with toe in is nice in braking cause the car is stable. Have fun!

Great starting place. There are a ton of other variables (like tires, track & driver) that will come into play. From where you are try and establish a target for hot tire pressures. Get that right and keep an eye on tire wear. Smooth is fast.

I think OP would be best off to hold off on running toe out up front until he's accumulated some seat time. His Thursday event is going to be his first time ever, so he's going to have many more important things to deal with (and he won't be driving as hard as you or even me).

Thursday will be my 4th HPDE day but first day with the new setup. So still a newb and learning curve with new suspension/tires.
