Alignment for my track setup

Germanguy · 07-24-2012, 05:06 PM

My specs were:
H&R springs
350 Z Rays with Toyo R888 235/40/18 all around (33 psi warm)
30 mm spacers front, 40 mm spacers in the back

Here my first re-alignment after the spring install:
front: -2,2° camber left, - 2,3° camber right
back: -3,3° camber left, -3,35° camber right

After Hockenheim GP trackday my rear tires showed that I was driving tooooo much camber in the back, because the outside of the tire did not even see the street:

My next upgrade will be:
60 mm spacers in back
SPC front and rear camber kit
re-Alignment

My question to you is: How much camber would you do in the next re-alignment? I also have Sportpackage wheels and drive that car 10000 miles/year.

How come you are running on 8/8.5" tires? I currently run 275's all around, ideally my camber front is -3, and rear -2.25, with Hankook RS3. Right now I have -3 all around and it is too much camber for the rear.

the 350z rays fit and they are light.

I use 4 rear 350z Rays, but I had them widened to 9.5"
