need help with alignment specs

hey,

i pm'd smikeevo but just incase he cannot reply in time, i have a backup

my car is at a tire shop right now about to get its alignment done. . My appt is in the afternoon

suspension mods

- whiteline bump steer kit
- roll center geometry kit
- megan racing street coilovers

I like my car as a daily driver but would like the handling to improve. I dont autocross or track i do corner quite agreesive around bends in the road.

any spec u guys can suggest i can tell the shop, if not im just going for stock specs.

Thank u

TERRY

-1.5 to -1.7 in front
-1.0 to -1.2 in the rear
0 toe
Caster is unchangeable

There was a thread about this, and was unanimously agreed upon that this was a good middleground as far as street setup with good track potential.

Good Luck

Per our PM:

1. Flip the front and rear springs, if you have not already. you want the 6k up front and 8k at the rear (or 7/8 depending on the verison of those c/os)

2. -2 up front, -1 to -1.4 rear.

3. Zero toe, zero thrust angle.

4. Watch how low you drop the car front and rear.

5. Corner balancing is the way to go, but ask if you can at least sit in the car when all the adjustments are being made.

so by changing the spring loads around with this particular setup it will help with the corner balancing of the vehicle?
