I've done some research, and wanted to see what some of you will recommend for my specific needs. My evo is a real DD (200 miles a week, driven everywhere sun or shine). However, it also sees the occasional autox event, so I was thinking my alighment, which is stock right now. What can I do to handle better without too much sacrifice on the tires. My current suspension mods are:

Bilstein w/ Works Ride Springs (1 inch drop all around)
Stock 17x8 BBS with 255/40/17 RE-01.

Planning to add the Perrin rear sway this summer.

Lets here it!

 

I daily-drive my car all year plus autocross it during the summer.



Somthing like this should be a good starting point for you. I'm on KYB GSR shocks, Swift Sport springs, Whiteline rear anti-sway bar, and a misc. array of chassis braces.

 

Here is another nice alignment:

I actually looked at both of those when I searched... Thanks for you input.

 

^^ which one is a better medium for both daily and some fun cornering?

 

I've been doing alignments on Evos for the last couple years and the best street alignment is
FRONT
left right
-1.5 -1.5 camber
0.0mm 0.0mm toe

REAR
-1.2 -1.2 camber
0.07mm 0.07mm toe

caster is not adjustable on our cars, so I wouldn't worry about it unless one side was 3.2 positive and the other was 2.4 or something varied to almost a degree.

I also wouldn't run 0 toe in the rear. The rear suspension will toe out when it squats, and it makes the car handle weird.

 

Been daily driving my VIII for the past 30K miles. Went to this alignment spec last August and have been extremely pleased. Very neutral, very tossable, tires show perfectly even wear, ride is terrific, tracks straight, no tram lining, ...

Front Toe: zero
Front Camber: -1.0 deg
Rear Toe: zero
Rear Camber: -0.5 deg

 

-1 in the front is stock isn't it?

 

The two I posted are very similar and both very good. I do like the handing of my car with the slight rear toe-out though since it helps the car rotate easily on the auto-x course.

 

My alignment is the one S2kracka posted from "fetzer tire." This was recommended by GTWORX to use w/ their sprints for 'Street/Road Course" use. These settings were testing by SmikeEvo on the board and perhaps others.

GL...I know mine feel wonderfully neutral, quick turn in and bites really well for my taste!

 

 

Cool thread, This is some info I was wondering as well.
