Default Factory Alignment & Drop Alighment

For an 05 Ap2 what is teh factory front/rear specs for camber & toe.

What I would like..

I am going in for an alignment over the next week once my springs settle, with that said...I'm not sure what to set the alignment too.

I don't want excessive inner tire wear, I'm not auto-x'ing the car, but I will need the rears to hook up, making 500whp so I can't have much negative camber, but I'd like some handling as well.

Thoughts?

Do you not trust the shop? It depends on where you go i suppose, but i always trust the guys as it's their job. Having said that, it's handy to have some figures to refer to..
(which i don't have - sorry)

I would like to know and can't seem to dig up that info anywhere...but @ the same time I'm curious what others are running.

Factory AP1 specs...

Front Camber: -0*30'+/- 10' = -0.5* +/- 0.17*

Front Toe In: 0.0" +/- .08"

Front Caster: 6*00' +/- 15' = 6.0* +/- .25*

Rear Camber: -1*30' +/- 10' = -1.5* +/-0.17

Rear Toe-in: 0.25" +/- 0.08"

Alignment's have been covered ALLOT on that other site.

"Thoughts?" Yes! How in the world did you get up to 500hp? and how in the world are you able to autocross that without waaaay too much tire burning???

You didn't mention what suspension mods you have that may limit or open up greater alignment specs. For example: is the car on 100% stock suspension, is it dropped? (how?), etc.

The OP first thread. He mentioned he wasn't going to Auto-X, but I was just thinking how it would be impossible to even do that with that much power. Especially seeing as how it must be turbo and thus have some power spikes that make technical driving a nightmare. Perhaps I could have been more clear.

I am the OP, & I said I'm not auto-xing the car.

I don't run max boost on the street...can be turned down to 300whp or whatever whp between I'd need for the course..

Anyway..

Perhaps you have no idea what you are talking about.
