Alignment specs?? post yours up.

So, what are yo guys running?

Me:

S13
17x9 +17
245/40/17

Front

Camber: -2.5* (upwards of -3 to -3.5 depending on conditions)
Toe: 0
Caster: 7*

Rear

Camber: -1.5
Toe: 0

I run a lot more camber up front because of the way the McPhearson strut front suspensions react in cornering.
I have been running no less than -2 for years now and the only uneven wear I have noticed was when I had a steering rack decide to poop out on me and the change in toe from that ate my tires up in no time.

i roll whatever feels best. trying more caster and a bit of toe in, w less camber in the front to try and get it to turn in better

Uh mines like
Left front: -2* toe, -3.5* camber
Right front: -1.5* toe, -3* camber
Rear is like 0 toe -2* camber. Haha it's all out of whack.

i suck phallic objects. No real alignment or what?

A big thing I've noticed is that a lot of the new drifters aren't getting allingments.... It helps a lot to get. Good alingment ... Buyall the adjustable arms ... As well as tension rods your caster gets fucked when you lower these cars ... A good start is to put everything to factory specs then adjust as necessary i have 1.8 in the back 1.2 in the front ( camber ) with 0 toe rear and .2 front and full caster a lil more than factory I think 5 deg.

A bad alignment will make your car act atrocious.

I run:
.1 degrees of front and rear toe in
1 degree of rear negative camber
2.8 degrees of front negative camber
7.5 degrees of caster

I plan on increasing front camber to 4-4.5 degrees negative when I change my steering knuckles and lower control arms.

why that much camber... thats alot alot..
exspecially with that much caster... its gonna feel like a shitty go-kart

That much camber so I can have a good contact patch with that much caster at full lock. The more caster you have the more positive camber your leading wheel has at lock on an s13. I may end up running less but I think Im going to end up in at least the mid to high 3s with pbm pro knuckles

just wondering why some of you guys are running toe in up front? toe in up front is suppose to help with high speed stability....who knows i might b wrong. i know a lot of the actual race cars that race around five flags and other short track ovals run toe out. generaly the tighter the track the more toe out they run

Can we get a thumbs up rating system or something? This guy gets a +1

the design of the schassis makes it so you need as much camber as possible in most cases to not have positive camber on the outside wheel in a turn

This is what happens when you don't have enough negative camber in the front with knuckles. This was me at birmingham drift event. I was playing with my alignment, trying to see exactly what I felt comfortable with. This was not it.
