Well since i just lowered my car, and im happy with the drop, i need to get an alignment done soon...

I was running the Euro spec in my old spa, and i liked the neutral feel it had. Im probably going to run that again, but im open to new ideas...

What are you running? Im not really worried about tire wear since i know its going to wear weird since ill be running an aggressive setup...

 

Yea same here jus lowered my car not to long ago and was curious as to what everyone else is running....Franceso how did you like the Euro settings on your old S2???

 

Stock AP2 camber is .6/1.3 F/R. I run at 1/1.5.

6 degrees of caster. 0 toe.

 

Street Normal:
Front Camber: -0.5
Rear Camber: -1.5
Toe: 0 all around

Street Aggressive:

Front Camber: -1.5
Rear Camber: -2.5
Toe: 0 all around

Track Set up:

Front Camber: -1.8 to -2.0
Rear Camber: -2.8 to -3.0
Toe: 1/8 out in the front

AP1 Wheels with proper sizes S02's

Suprisingly even with my aggressive street set up, I was getting pretty even tire wear. It prob has something to do with my driving style though

Frank, you will have to ask people to list what wheels and tires sizes they are using. This will have a significant impact on alignment. (rubbing issues, etc...)

 

He has an AP2 now thread *****.

 

im trying not to get to much camber wear and also have a nuetral feel...as close to stock....when it comes to Toe Camber etc... i get lost so what do you guys suggest

it felt really neutral, but it also came out of alignment faster than stock...

 

how often did you have to get an allignment done??

i had it done 2 or 3 times...

 

Did you go to the dealer for your allignment??

 

NTB for alignments if you know someone who works there or if they have a competent mechanic.

i have the 3yr deal for which i paid $120. I have already had 10+ alignments, money well spent

You got good tire life because you have no rear toe in on any of your configurations. Camber is not really what kills tires quickly. It's toe that causes the most wear. The Stock alignment parameters call for a lot of toe-in (3/8" toe-in I think?). If you run 1/4" toe in or 1/8" toe in, you'll get more life out the expensive rear tires. If you run 0 toe in the rear, you'll get even more tire life, but I would not recommend that for novices, because the rear end will be pretty willing to come around with 0 toe.

alright.. here's my new specs... i gave the guy the uk specs but some of the specs he needed to change cause he wasn't able to get those specs cause of my drop....

front camber -1
caster 8.20 degrees
toe 0
rear camber -2.6
toe 20 degrees
total toe 40 degrees

my short impression on it... i like it... it's rather neutral at the moment on those long sweeping turns.. car feels planted.. i haven't taken any hard turns yet... but i will by the weekends end....

 

can i get a copy of those UK spec??
