Default Good alignment setting?

I have an 88 Hf and i want to know what is a good alignment setting for my car. I am doing auto-x as well as drag racing. I have the falken azenis so they wear quickly. Any good suggestions?

wear quickly? define "quickly"?

for drag racing, you want to have 0 toe.

for autocross, anywhere from 1/16 to 1/8 in. total toe out and whatever toe setting feels good to you for the rear.

all that aside, what have you done to the car so far? is it stock? how long have you been autocrossing?

nate

edit: is the suspension stock?
2nd edit: and have you searched this board for this topic? it's been covered before. many times.

thats a tough question
I go through alot of tires track racing
about 2-4 sets a year
i run 3.5 negative in the front and 3 in the rear with 1/16 toe out in the fronts
but im still messing around with settings
and this is for road racing with daily driving on another set of tires
its something you have to play around with

Well, I have not had these on yet. I am running them on auto-x and the street. Currently, I have progress springs (2in Drop), with tokico adjustable shocks, and the Si rear sway bar with the SI LCA's. I only ran 3 events last year, I did do so well, but I was running 205/40/17 A520's. I was right in the middle of the pack for the last event for the novice class.

yea, I think people just want to make sure they get the latest info. Maybe something has changes since the last post regarding whatever topic, and they want to get the newest/best information.

if you want the newest info then push the search button and search for 'recent topics'.. if you want more info search for archived topics.. it's NOT hard work.. all solo-x did was put 'alignment' in the search engine and select the roadracing/auto-x forum.. what did all his 'hard work' turn-up for him? 2 new posts and 32 old posts.. amazing!

it's funny how most of the time if people would actually attempt a search they would find the answer to their question faster than the time it took them to type up the question! sorry, i just grow tired of people that like to be spoon-fed.. i've always searched long and hard for info that i've needed..

I'm kind of sory I said anything. I do searches all the time, which is why my post count is so low. I did not even start this post, so lay off, sorry I said anything about the 'HARD WORK." I was just showing appreciation.
