My first track...The Ring

chrisbeltre

Chris, what set up do you have on your coils? I was running mine full hard at the ring. Also here are the numbers from my alingment.

Before

F/L: -1.35
F/R: -1.45
R/L: -2.36
R/R: -2.36

After

Front: +0.4
Rear: +0.19

Thanks for the info Jay. That seems like a lot of camber, maybe when I get better at the track I can try something like that.

I want to know how the heck they changed your front camber! LOL Maybe those after numbers are total toe?

I have the stiffer springs on my BC's, 12K front, 10K rear. On street tires I usually run them in about the middle (15 clicks from full soft), I only run full hard for slicks. Having the suspension move a little bit is useful, makes the car more communicative.

I am thinking those are the front and rear toe numbers. And that seems to be right. For most all manufactors have the factory toe set slightly positive. Each tire pushes ever so slightly against each other so it stays straight easier for joe snuffy that buys 99% of the vehicles for simply a commuter. Like I said you can run slightly toe out but better for low speed courses and autox. Dont want to DD with toe out, will destroy tires. 0* is the best all around, but when in semi ruts it wants to drag the drag around.

I am not sure if the Z can adjust the caster but if you can you can run the tire out a little farther forwards in regards to the fender wheel to help with high speed stability.

There is no factory caster or camber adjustments up front. The SPC front arms have +/- 2.5 degrees of camber (in reality a lot more - than +) and +/- 1.0 degrees caster adjustment. I agree though, those do look like standard toe numbers at the bottom.
