The current alignment was done by me in the garage with some pretty simple tools to set the camber and toe. I did not get into measuring the castor. I just looked at a couple of other cars and set the castor to what I thought was close. I have about 1700 miles on the car and it has been handling amazingly well for a rookie first time garage set up. I am betting that the car will handle even better after a correct alignment is completed.
The car's primary purpose it to provide reliable "daily" transportation when the weather is nice. (I've driven the car to work all this week so far -great weather right now.) Also, some aggressive street driving, well maybe alot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) (Today I found out how much fun 3rd gear can be on a long very twisty ridge top road. SR45 between bloomington and nashville for those that know the area (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) Also, strongly considering signing up for a PCA DE event at Putnam Park mid Sept (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Here's the car set up: 2056 4 cyl, Raby built lsd transaxle Mueller needle bearings all around Yellow adjustable koni's all around 195X60X15 Yokohama AVS ES 100 Front: Tarret sway bar 22mm effective rate bump steer spacers on front new stock torsion bars on front turbo tie rods Ride height: 5" at donuts, 23" at fender well lip measured through wheel centerline Rear: 125# hypercoil springs w/ adj spring perches no rear bar Ride height: 5 1/4" at donuts, 22 1/8" at fender well lip Based on searches here on what others have used I came up with the following specs: Front: Camber -1.2 Caster 5.5 Toe in 1/16" per side Rear: Camber -1.5 Toe in 1/16" per side Thrust angle 0 Let me know what you think about the settings.
