yes, yes old news. i would look it up in my helms but i seem to have misplaced it

what is the stock alignment for the R? from looking around with the search function, i gather it's: 1/16" total toe out front and 1/16" toe in rear. sound good?

ps: i tried 3/16" toe out up front and wore off the inside edges of my azenis in no time
pps: the R has stock suspension

 

Sorry, my Helm's at home.

That sounds fine to me, I run 0 rear, 1/8th total toe out front. YMMV. More toe out in front you can stand, the better Just rotate more often. The only bad thing about front toe out is straight line stability and tire wear.

anybody have the acura recommended toe alignment settings? please?!

 

Here goes:

Camber
front -0 degrees 30 seconds
rear -0 degrees 45 seconds

caster
front 1 degree 10 seconds

total toe
front 0 mm / 0 in.
rear in 2mm / in 1/16 in.

The 1/16 front toe out and 0 rear are the prefered "track" settings (as George mentioned), the ones I gave are out of the book stock settings.

I'd go with the track settings (and will myself once the new Buddy Clubs come in and get installed).
Better turn in and less rear instability under braking with the track settings. Ed

Ed, I'm not sure why you said that. Do you mind explaining?

Ed was probably thinking toe OUT in the back...

Toe IN in the back = more stable than Zero toe in back = more stable than toe out in back.


BTW, mugen trailing arm bushings do wonders if j00r car has a tendency to wander under braking in the back. G00t luck finding them though

 

and then have fun installing them

unless j00 got 20 ton press

I bought a used one...just have to pick it up

Thanks for the help Dan!

 

I would like to meet Joo one of these days. Everybody talks about him but I've never seen him around.

You'd think I'd have seen Joo at a track meet by now.
