Re: aligment specs
1/8" of total toe out, and -.5* of camber is what ive ran. cars felt very stable and had good contact patch and even wear

Re: aligment specs
I was always told to make sure your sitting in the car and raise it up in the front a little.
But when you raise it up do you still want that -.5 deg of camber or do you want it at 0

Re: aligment specs
Under hard accel the tires tend to toe into each other so you want them toed out about a 1\8 inch so when your under hard accel they pull themselves straight and you have a nice stable non darting car up top thats also not scrubbing off a lot of speed. Same setup used on record setting fwd's

Picture the tires toed out under hard accel they are trying to pull inwards which will usually if toed out the right amount end up pretty straight. Goal is stability and not scrubbing off speed under accel. I could careless what the alingment says sitting in the garage.

Re: aligment specs
Torque of the motor twisting the axles tends to pull the wheels toe'd in under hard accel, So you want it set toe'd out so It comes back close to 0 as your going down the track.

Re: aligment specs
This has been covered time and time again except in every other thread about this they say toe in which would make sense to me since when the car lifts its pulls the tie rods in which results in a tow out condition. But what do i know i 60ft like **** and my car is toed out from some alignment i got last season.

Re: aligment specs
Plus, when you lower a car, doesnt it toe out? So the opposite would be that it would toe in if you lift it. So...
If when you launch, the front end lifts, it will toe in. So if you set it slightly toed out, when it lifts, it will toe in to 0. Just my thoughts.
And great thread. Im doing my alignment next week. So this was great timing for me.

Re: aligment specs
im a slacker with camber. stock spec on the toe, and as much caster as my traction bars would allow.
aligned with the stock wheels, set ride height with me in the car, aligned with me in the car.
