I did a search but didn't find any specific info on this.

I'd like to give my 2001 ITR an aligment that will give me a bit more overall performance in my AutoX racing. It's currently all at the stock settings, but I was not sure exactly what adjustments are considered to give the best results. My car is basically used for weekend fun/AutoX/backroads driving. I don't want to go to any extremes, but maybe just get that extra little bit of an edge.

Can anyone give me some specifics on this? Is there a general consensus on what makes for a good "performance oriented" alignment? Thanks dudes

 

Toe the front out a little, say about 1/8-1/4 of inch. That will improve turn in. You can leave the rear alone or set it to zero, it doesn't make that much of a difference. Toe is the only thing you can adjust too, so you've got pretty simple instructions for your alignment shop.

 

really? I was under the impression you could mess with everything. Well, OK, that makes it easy I guess.

 

Toe is the only adjustment you can make... unless you have a camber kit...

I took my car to the max toe-out that was still with in the factory settings.

BTW: I was in the car when he aligned it... Ballast I am. If you are light it may not make as big of a difference.
