Im about to install my F/R Ingalls camber correction kit and was wondering what would be optimum for the street?

Car will prolly never be tracked but maybe a autox or 2.

For now it has Tokico red/blues up front and stock del sol vtec suspension in the rear.

No strut tower bars.

15/50/205 azenis615 all around.

Remember sol is daily driven so I want performance and tire life.

So Im looking for camber and toe settings please.

Sold Out

 

I have a DA and I am running 215/45r16 RT-615's with -2*f/-2.5*r on my DD for the last year with no problems. Havent even rotated my tires and they still look almost brand new.

 

Not sure about the optimum camber, but set your toe to 0 all the way around to keep the tire wear to a minimum.

 

On my ep3 I had -2.5 front and -1.0 rear with 0 toe. Handled pretty good.

 

Keep toe at OEM specs...I put my teg at 0 toe in the rear when it should have been .10, and the car handled like ****.

Some toe might be needed on our cars, thats why factory put it there.

 

so what would factory toe setting be for my 95 del sol vtec

 

bump for more of your dd settings

 

I always align my cars to stock toe specs for best tire longevity(drive R comps daily )

Camber is usually about 2.5 fr, 1.5 rear

The factory spec for rear toe is to trade some tire lifespan (and mileage, since any toe is scrubbing tire) for high speed and braking stability.

I much prefer how much better my Integra rotates without the stock rear toe. However, I run it with the stock rear toe since its my daily.

Novice driver should keep the stock rear toe settings. Knowledgeable drivers should know enough to decide which trade off they prefer for their situation.

 

ok so factory rear would be 0 toe

what would be high speed and braking be for dd R toe setting?

Um, is that English?

Stock rear toe spec (on most any FWD car) is a slight amount of toe in. Heck, even my 1983 Chevy Cavalier, which had a solid dead axle in the back, had slight rear toe in.

0 rear toe is acceptable for street use, just know what you are doing to your car. It will not be as stable as stock under all conditions.

Rear toe out is awful on the street (both to drive and for your tires), but great for autocross (in some cars).

 

ok so 0 toe on all 4 and 2.5fr and 1.5 rear negitive will be my settings along with a full alignment. thanks guys

 

I'd run 1/16" total toe-in at the rear to keep things in check. Toe-out in the rear of a del Sol is extremely sketchy under braking, and I'm a bit leery of zero toe on that car as well.

You can't adjust camber without threaded spring perches or camber adjuster kits, so forget that for now.

 

Yeah but I will do all adjustments at once alignment, camber, toe so I want to know all specs so I can tell the shop and they can just do thier thing.

Targa you sound like you know your stuff about sols so I want to run 1/16th of a degree toe in on the rear.

As for the front 0 toe? or no?

Camber fr ? and rr?

 

I'd run 0 toe up front.

Like I said, camber is not adjustable on your car unless you have a camber adjuster kit or can adjust the ride height via threaded spring perches. Only toe is adjustable from the factory.

 

Targa I know camber is not adjustable in stock form thats why I have a brand new F/R Ingalls camber correction kit about to go on.

I just want all specs ready to give to the shop.

 

I have no idea how I missed that in the original post.

 

Why bother with camber kits if you have stock rear suspension?

I personally wouldn't bother with them at all with your setup. Have them set the toe and that's it. Make sure the rear thrust angle is as close to 0.00 as they can get it.

 

B/c I like the idea of improving handling plus I will be upgrading my suspension soon

 

when every one says a 1/16th is that total or perside ive allways wondered this
