Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Mixed use alignment? (Attn:Hotrodz, Rusty)

So been a while posting but I got a secondary vehicle so now making some changes with the Z and doing suspension arms and also some custom valved powertrix ultralites. I still plan do street drive the car so I’m trying to get some feedback on alignment thoughts. I know the go to for track is a -2 to -3 front with a -1.8 rear but I think that’s going to be a bit much front for any sustained street use. So then the question is if I plan to keep the front around -1.5 to 1.75 should I then put the rears closer to -1.25ish? I know factory has the rears more negative than front but then I see a lot of the Z (and GTR) change that ratio for aggressive use as you get more corner exit traction.

So keep rears 1.8 and just have less front or adjust the rear to keep a more negative front bias?
