i drive a 06 evo 9 rs

billstein mr struts (used)
swift spec r springs
perrin rear 25mm sway bar
team dynamics pro series 1.2 17x9
255/40/17 bfgoodrich super sport tires
fender rolled in the back (rubbed too much on stock springs !)


wats a good alignment for not everyday driver but driving around the city in the tristate area and tracking it maybe 3 times a year ??

thanks !

 

Use the -1 camber bolt selection up front.

-0.5 to -1.0 rear camber.

No toe, no thrust angle.

 

^ IMO that's a little conservative. I'd stick with -2 front camber, -1 to -1.3 rear camber, 0 toe all around.

I think I know the answer to this, which is why I stated conservative.

OP -- How many track days have you ever done?

 

by track i mean like 1/4 mile but yea like 3 times to the track a year so like 6 - 9 passes prob

just finished installing the spec r springs smike love it !!

 

The -1 selection will still give more than -1 actual camber.

Great to hear on the SpecRs!

 

for drag you don't need/want negative camber stick to the conservative alignment mentioned earlier...for track..as in road course go -2 minimum in the front

 

^ true. For drag application I'd go with -1 up front as well.

yea the spec r dropped it nice !! just have to get the back fender rolled bc i have 17x9 rims wit 255/40/17 but ima do that after my alignment ill let you know how it went !!


also to rebuild the struts i can just take them off the car and send it to billstein directly in one piece ??

how long does it usually take for the rebuild to be done and returned to me ??

does it completely rebuild the strut as well ??

thanks !

 

im going wit the -1 up front and -.5 in the back bc im also driving in rough terrains (tri state area)


thanks for the help guys !!


and shud i go wit -.5 or -1.0 in the back ??

 

You only send Bilstein the strut. Not the full assembly. 3-4 weeks turn around.

 

So approx what camber should -1 selection give you then?

 

-1.3 to -1.8 is what I have heard/seen.

 

so i go to the aligment plaace and tell them

no thrust angle

no toe

-1.0 camber bolt in front

and in the back wat shud i get done ??

sorry for askin the same question over smike its just that i want to have everything right bc the guy at the alignment shop does amazing work but doesnt speak good english loll

shud i do -.05 in the back ?

remember 17x9 team dynamic rims on my evo 9

thanks !

 

If you have -1 in the front, then -.5 in the back should be adequate.
