Gotcha.


I run 0 toe up front as well, wanting to go positive though.

Gotcha.


I run 0 toe up front as well, wanting to go positive though.

0 toe should turn in better than the aggressive (negative) toe settings though...or are you referring to aggressive positive settings?

Yeah, zero toe should turn-in better than negative toe ( / \ ). Positive toe ( \ / ) will give you better turn in but don't be surprised if the car feels darty at speed.

Well aggressive in either direction will kill tires.

Negative toe (toe-in) up front is used to reduce understeer and improve steering feel. The Z doesn't really need it. Just a hair of rear toe-in to keep the car stable.

AWD cars and FWD cars usually run a crap load of toe-in with a bit of rear toe-out to get the car to rotate more easily. Front toe-out serves no useful purpose that I'm aware of (on our cars), although because things can change under compression it might help for mid-corner front grip for example.

I don't have to worry about rear anything. :icon17:

toe in is positive number, you are right about everything else. if you look at the factory specs on rear toe, i believe the range is all positive numbers

Camel toe really kills the tires.

....uh...

:wtf2:

Yep you're right, I'm always getting my negative's and positive's messed up. Fortunately I never make that mistake when doing electrical :icon14:

Might be a dumb question, but for the people running a square setup, are any of you guys running spacers in the rear to keep the track width ratio from front to rear the same as stock? Or would that be counterproductive in reducing understeer?

I run 15mm rear spacers to push the wheels out a little.

Front
-3 camber
0 toe

Rear
-2.5 camber
.1 toe

What set-up do you guys think would be best for a DD Z that may be going to a track eventually? I have the base 18" wheels and am eventually going with 245's front and maybe 275's in the rear (currently at stock 225F/245R). Need to get my alignment fixed soon so this would be the perfect time to do it. Thanks :tup:

If you have to wait more than a year before you do a track day, most likely your tires will be worn out by then....

Yeah but they're not track tires anyway, just all season. Doubt I will be doing some tracking anytime soon, but I do plan on it eventually. Till then it will be just spirited driving on some curvy roads and maybe AutoX at the most.

factory spec alignment is best for you blades.

It would be nice to push the front camber just a little for a more aggressive street performance (around -1.2) but sadly there is no way to do it without replacement upper control arms. High speed auto-x is great if you can find it locally, helps you learn what the car will do at the limit and makes you more prepared for the track when you get there.
