Hey, we went out in the rain today.
Fortunately the alignment chop is only a half mile away. Here's what we gots: Camber R/F -1.99 L/F -1.99 R/R -2.3 L/R -2.25 Caster R/F 5.08 L/F 5.31 1/16 toe in at both ends. Pulled another 3mm shim from each side in the rear. I"d like to get more caster, but I'd have to do some more grinding around the strut mounts. Maybe next winter. A short drive shows the car to be VERY responsive. The ride is....er....firm....but not as bad as I thought it would be. Vracers really suck in the wet. Now if the weather would cooperate, we can go play Sunday. It ain't lookin' good, tho. |

It's not really twitchy, you just have to keep your mind on driving it the whole time you're behind the wheel. Look down to fiddle with the radio, and you may find yourself in the next lane...
Toe-out in the rear makes a car quite twitchy!! --DD |
