street vs. track/ autox alignment?

elirentz · 08-09-2006, 07:55 PM

So I'm going in tomorrow to get my alignment after the PDE plates were installed. Do any of you have suggestions as to whats a good alignment for the street or autox? I have 245/45 rt-615, pinks, PDE plates, Group N rear mounts, and hotchkis competition sways. I'm only concerned about tire wear on the street with the best all around alignment. I was thinking around -2.75 for the fronts for autox and around -2.0 for the street.

Well if you want to have 2 seperate settings, go for -2.7 to -3.0 ish or something, then like -1.5 ish for street would be good, IMO.

Hope that helps.

Since you have plates, I would do this...

Have it set so that for the street, your front setting is toe IN by about .1, and your camber is about -2.0. When you go to the track, use your plates to push it out another -.5 to about -2.5. From what I'm told, you get roughly .1 degrees of toe out for every additional .25 degrees of camber. So this will also give you a touch of toe out. If you want even more camber and more toe out, push the camber out even more.

Look for posts by Scott Seigel. I got this idea from him and there's more information out there on it.
