Alignment Specs??

Hey guys... im finally going to install my new shocks this weekend(Tokico D-Specs) ... but i still need to know what specs i should get as far as alignment goes. The car will be used for street driving with auto-x on the weekends. And im not using camber bolts. I want good performance but dont want my tires to wear too fast. what kind of specs are some of you guys running?

Thanks

 

that would be the dream

not sure what exact setup im running... i need to get a performance alignment done as well... last one was a year ago

 

I think I am running 2.1 Negative Camber in the front, rear I think is .9 which is the max you can get without getting camber plates. And I think I am running 3 degrees of toe in up front.

 

How are your tires(street) holding up???

 

So far my tires are wearing nicely, I have about 5000 to 7000 miles on the new set and there is still more than half the tread left. I am having trouble finding the supposed tread life on these tires, but I think the guy at Gran Turismo said they should be good for around 150000 miles. Mind you, these tires have spanned the 2/3 of last Auto X Season, and a 30 minute season on RA at picture day.

 

Without using camber bolts you will only be able to get around -1.5 front camber and around the same for rear camber. Basically the only "change" you can do is to max out the front stock camber bolts. The rear isn't adjustable w/o aftermarket bolts. You can wiggle out a few tenths here and there by loosening everything, holding one way, and then tightening, but most alignment shops will not feel like doing that.

I will echo the -2F, ~-1.5R camber as the perfect street setup.

Thanks for the replys guys. What kind(brand) of camber bolts are you guys running and where can i get them?

Thanks for all the help!!

 

I think you mean 0.3 degrees of toe-in. 3.0 degrees toe-in would cause a serious wear issue.

 

Is our camber adjustable? I remember on my Integra it supposedly was not...

 

I bought some ncie ingalls camber bolts from Summitt racing for $7 each

I've got -2.7 Front -1.1 rear. It rotates so nice!!

 

Napa Auto Parts carries camber bolts for a very good price. I've forgotten the part #s, so you might want to call around and find a store that has them in stock.

They are the ones I used in the back of my STX car until I got a better means of camber adjustment back there
