performance alignment, anybody got specs? Options

[JaxMadine]

Doing an alignment tomorrow, just wondering if anybody has some good specs floating around that give better handling and no odd wear.

[Rayme]

none, just stay stock and get better tires.

What I mean is alignment adjustment can make a difference on circuit, lowering the lap times etc...its definitly not something you will experience on the street, especially with degrees low enough to not have un-even wear. I know theres a tire company that makes tires with harder insides, so that you can have some degrees of negative camber without too much wear.

thats awesome, I didn't know they made tires like that


a slightly negative camber will improve your traction while cornering by keeping a bigger contact patch with the ground in a high speed turn... but how often do you take turns like that while you're going to the supermarket

if you don't have them already get front and rear strut bars, you'll be amazed

3 point strut bar because 2 does not even come close and sway bars really make a difference

Yes, i know all this, I was just wondering if anyone had a proven alignment setup. I guess Ill be the one to toy with alignments and do a report on it later.

well unless u have Cusco Pillow mounts up front your camber there is pretty limited and Rear camber is going to be very limited..crash bolts will help some though...

i really wouldn't recommend more then
1.5* in the front
1.0* in the back

of negative camber

Well turns out that aligning a celica sucks major butt. add to it that they put bolts in the wrong places with different nuts. I just did the max spec align. which is -1.3 camb in the front, and spec toe all the way around. Last time I do that.
