Hi All,
I looked for a similar discussion and haven't found one and it goes without saying I've watched Alan's videos. I want to discuss alignment settings and I know it is a function of car purpose and personal preference to some degree.
I plan to use my SLC for street use and one day a month track days. I set up the ride height and corner balanced my SLC, then set the alignment in my garage. I just took it to a local performance shop to have it professionally measured and here is what they have come back with:
Front
Camber (degrees): Left -1.8, right -2.0
Caster (degrees): Left 5.0. right 5.7
Toe (degrees): Left 1.57, right 1.22
Rear
Camber (degrees): Left 0.2, right -0.7
Toe (degrees): Left 0.56, right 0.24
Total Toe (degrees): 0.56
Thrust Angle (degrees): 0.04
So:
- looks like I should move the front camber down to -1.0 to -1.5 or so but it is not bad where it is.
- The front toe I had closer to 0, but added toe in as it was very squirrely on me ... should probably move it back closer to 0
- The rear camber should be closer to -0.5?
Other comments or suggestions? I've not had such a tunable suspension before and I haven't found good suggestions online.
First track day for this car is Sept 10.
cheers,
Craig
