Track alignment spec
 

Hi guys, any recommend for what would a good spec to start with the alignment for track and DD dual usage? What're the camber and toe setting? Or anything you have tried and worked? Thanks in advance. :tup:

Do you have camber arms?

2-2.5* all around is a pretty decent call for track time. I run 0 toe up front, and spec in the rear.

If you don't have camber arms, I'd try it with rears matched to the fronts, and the same toe settings as above.

Thank you buddy! So do you like running the same camber for F&R? Does the car need any toe in for the rear? I remember last time I tried my buddy's stock Z and it had good amount of grip for corner exiting. But the car was understeering during high speed cornering. I'm not sure if all the Z's are like that.

Personally, that has worked well for me.


The z is very prone to understeer, but dialing it out with just camber is tough. A stiffer rear sway is a good call.

Car does need rear toe. I just stick with stock spec.

hmm, i did some search and found out Nismo running some interesting camber setting:
Nismo 370

Front
Camber -.58
Caster 8.17
Toe 0.03

Rear
Camber -1.58
Toe 0.08


I think I will just start from square camber setting and go from there. Thanks.

Front camber is not adjustable, neither is front caster.

oh I didn't know that. So I need camber plate or camber arm or whatever to make it adjustable?

Yeah, which is why I said match rears to front if you don't have the plates.

Do these Eibach Alignment kit work?
Eibach Recommended Align. Kit

yes, it works. I have it. Be advised though, it is actually a repackaged SPC kit. It even has SPCs directions with it. Not that there is anything wrong with that. If anything, it gives SPC a little more credibility.

You can get front camber with a bolt? I thought you need a new control arm?

:iagree:

If so (with a bolt) how does that work?

I need more camber on my setup. I'm at 1.5F and 1.8R and being it's not DD I could defiantly do it with no sweat.

thats just a picture of the rear. the front is a new upper arm

Mike, what do you think of the SPC arms for the front? I know people have concerns about the single, non-locking bolt and them holding their alignment. Any issues or suggestions?

I wrote to SPL and they say their arms are a future project on the table but no official release date.

one of mine did not hold its alignment and I lost a track day due to it.
