s550 alignment reccommendations

[sigma4g]

making about 700 whp on my ess just got my drag wheels with some nt555r2 tires.

what alignment should i run if i want to have grip in the straights but also be able to carve some corners with some spirited driving what still having grip as well? i assume -1.0 to -1.5 camber in the front but i have no idea what to run in the rear as far as camber and toe based of the way i was to drive with this power and setup.


thank you in advanced

Don't have a comment on the specs. But your GT looks Looks like a fun ride. What front end is that, looks like the Mach 1 front kit? and the wing on the back? Either way

VASTLY better tires.

VASTLY better tires.

LOL. The R2’s seem to get better reviews than the G2’s. I’ve never run R2’s so can’t speak to them. But if OP had said G2’s then yeah I’d say light them things on fire

OK I won't be a smart ass.

-1.75 to -2.5 in front. That is the range I like for street. Pick your poison. The -2.5 will tramline more than the -1.75 but will also turn much better.

Rear I like -1.5 to -2 Negative 2 will give up some forward bite. I usually run -1.75

Front toe .01 toe in. Each tire .05

Rear toe .2 toe in. .1 each side

Unless you have camber plates the front camber isnt adjustable.

1.5 to 2 rear is a good range to be in. For your power, it depends if you want to start putting partial power down early (2deg) or hold on and mash it when you’re straightish (1.5).

If you have camber plates then you can go 2.3F / 1.7 rear or thereabouts. There very little downside to extra front camber as long as your car control instincts are strong. (More front camber gives more front authority, but you have to know what to do with the wheel or you can get into trouble just as fast as you can get out of it)

Make sure the rear toe is right. (Slight toe in and even both camber and toe in the rear) or it will always step out to one side.

this is exactly what i was looking for. i want something thats a little diverse in both. i wanted something pretty good for just mashing down in a straight line and making sure i have enough contact patch as i can but still be cambered enough to go around corners. i did used to run -1.5 on all 4 and running slight even toe on the rear. i do have camber bolts in the front to get a slight bit more adjustment. i do have adjustable toe links in the rear as well
