Civic EG6 suspension settings?
Hi.
I need some basic suspension settings for this car. It is 70% race car. I need front/rear camber, caster, toe settings. The car is modefied with 4wd system. I don't know how 4wd system will affect the suspension geometry but fwd settings will be a good point to start.

um whoa... more details on how you achiever AWD? CRV trans, drive shaft and rear axles? Rear subframe mods?
Someone more familiar with track vehicles will need to provide input on alignment settings. All I deal with on my car is toe and just get that set to factory settings.

The awd is from civic eg with intrac system. The rear visous works like a LSD, front toursen lsd. Crv, transmission, d series rear axles, civic wagon's rear subframe + asr adjustable swaybar, shortened wagon's rear trailing arms, full spherical bushing kit, 26mm front sway bar, fully adjustable camber, toe, caster on the front and the rear.

most "racers"/hpders will be zero toe some toe out the fronts. camber in the front anywhere from -4 to -2.5..with the 2.5-3.5 range being more of the norm. the rear you will see around -3 to -1.5. with that awd set up id stay more toward that -1.5. or just pay attention to the temps of the tires. will be a good indicator.

Re: Civic EG6 suspension settings?
How are you adjusting caster? Almost nobody adjusts caster on Hondas because there's really nothing out there that allows it other than the rotating ball joints that adjust both caster and camber at the same time (junk design IMHO).
Most people would say that more positive caster than stock is better, but too far and you could have problems. You may just have to try various settings and see what works best.
