Track alignment
 

Hey I was looking through some older posts about track settings, and I'm looking to get some better recommendations on my specific setup as I know different setups as for different settings. .

I'm currently on stock struts/swift springs. I'm running r-comp Tires(maxis rc-1), 285 all the way around. I just installed all SPL arms front and rear, and locked out the cam bolts and did SPC toe bolts.

I'm thinking of running 2.7 front, 1.9 rear, 0 toe all the way around and -5 caster front. Wondering what your opinions are on this?

I know I could do more but the car does daily about 30 miles round trip 5 days a week so I know I have to make some compromises.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm running -2 camber, +7 caster, a hair in on toe for the front. Rear -1.75 camber, and 1/16" toe in. The more rear toe out. The great the chance it will snap-over steer. :eek: The more caster you have in the front. The greater the turn camber will be. From what you said. You have too much camber front and rear for DD. For track, it would be real close. Do you do any track/autox? If not, why the r-comps? They're short lived on the street.

I have an extra set of wheels with r comps on them specifically for track days. I'm planning on tracking maybe 1-2 times a month. I do daily but city streets and like a said I know I have to compromise, but I'm leaning more towards an aggressive setup.


So then would NO toe be ok for the rear?

And yes I do attend track days, which is why im looking for setup advice lol

I'm running -2.5 camber up front, -1.75 rear, 0 toe. A buddy of mine just got the RC-1s -- I'm curious to see how they do!

On an R-compound tire you are going to need at least -2.5 in my opinion. Or run higher pressures to make it happen. The toe settings for me vary based on the track, but I have around 500hp.

My specs are as follows, mostly track/some street driving:

FRONT
-2.75* camber, I would run 3 if tire wear were irrelevant.
6* caster
0 toe

REAR
-1.9* camber
1/8 total toe in, helps tremendously with putting power down.

I run 3/8 rake most of the time, nice entry rotation and plants well on throttle.

If you run a stock differential, I would recommend a higher static camber setting and less caster. Caster causing jacking during cornering which will unload the rear inside tire, causing even more inside wheel spin.

Hope that helps!

Front: -2.75 Camber; +.05 Toe with Total Toe = +.10

Rear: -2.5 Camber; +.15 Toe with Total Toe = +.30
