Default road race crx alignment specs? Where do i start?

my car is an 89 crx, koni yellows w/eibach sportlines full poly bushings and Ra1 tires. The motor is just an LS. What is the best starting point for my alignment. I don't have camber plates yet so i guess i'm limited to just toe. Any suggestions? oh, it's being used at cmp if that makes a diff.

Start with the factory settings, then go from there?

Probably better than going right off the bat with some crazy toe settings that'll surprise you when you least need it.

common track alignments are 1/16-1/8" total toe out in the front. 0-1/16" toe in the rear. guess what, thats factory specs...

Sorry to kinda get off topic but pertaining to your setup......how do you like it?

That is exactly what I want minus the tires(looking for azenis, you know the usual)

j/c how it rides on a daily basis and how has it handled for you under pressure....??

1/8" total toe out and 0 in the rear is what I have been running most recently and I have been very pleased. This is with 2.5* front and 3-3.5* rear negative camber, stock caster (for now, that will change soon) At these settings, the car pushes, but there's room to fix that with a rear sway bar and a little more negative camber in the front I think.

That is what I run but less rear camber and no push. I have never played with caster but likely will before long.

Thanks for sharing guys.

This is about what I've been running for autocross events... however I'm finding for some reason that I've got about a degree more negative camber on one side. Is this normal?... figuring that unequal half-shafts might play into the equation.

Sorry for the slight aside (Off Topic).

not really sure, i had the suspension on my hatch, drove it 12 miles and the car has been sitting since then but it was def. solid, seemed like it would be kindof touchy on the street but i liked it for the 15 minutes i was in the car
