auto cross is running around cones rite, if so i should try it at least once, you want the car to have zero lean when cornering, i think my car would do well............... :drinking:

what is the ideal alignment for tires for a daily driven car?

by **jetbtkng** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 3:56 pm

that would be 0 zero degrees camber................. :drinking:

people say having -1 in the front is good for street cars that want a little extra grip. no?

how bout toe?

it depends what your doing, on a daily driver stock setup is all u need, unless your planning on a high speed chase with the cops, or u drive alot in the mountains, or you dont care about tire wear, and good tires arent cheap............. :drinking:

WOW your tracks seem very dusty and rocky! And what happened to the car behind you!

How did you go compared to the 240?

And I run - 0.5 degree camber on my car. It wears perfectly flat - due to my type of driving.

Toe wears out tires moreso than camber does. Best way to find out how much negative camber to run is go to a track day or autox and use a pyrometer to measure the tread temperatures on your tires. If even inside to out, then you should be good and then if wamer on one side than the other then you'll want to adjust camber accordingly. And Jet, lean isn't always a bad thing. It's all about getting the car pointed in the direction you want quicker so better to let it rotate rather than less lean and push like a pregnant mother.

thats fine with rear wheel drive cars, front wheel drive is different, my car pushed like a pig until i put the whiteline 24 mm. front sway bar, i tested it at willow springs, way better, but it was still a little lose, so i put a camber kit on, the car turns when and where i want it to, watch the vid, you'll see a car doing >>I'm a douche<< it was'nt designed to do, i have put imo the best track setup for our cars together, and it does'nt hurt to know how to drive either.................. :drinking:

lol. Trust me, I know how to drive and you want a front driver to have some oversteer as well. Nothing like a lil three wheeling action

ok then you need to go to willow springs 9/11/09, with bob and me, and we'll see how your setup compares to mine, and we'll see whos setup is best....................... :drinking:

some good coilovers for track is good... running springs and struts isn't always the best.. you can too much travel and way with the traditional spring strut set-up...

Coilovers you can set the damping and height of the car. but that is just my opinion.
