Hi guys just wondering what type of alignment settings ppl are running on the street and track?

I have installed a set of coilovers and was wondering how much toe I should dial in?

Should I leave it at neutral toe?

Thanks

Unless you want to eat tyres, toe should be zero.

I am running a fair amount of negative camber in the rear, but otherwise everything else is as close to zero as possible.

see a tyre alignment tech and see what he recommends.

chasing settings for the street can be silly.

becareful because alignment is big deal. it can be the difference between gripping, and not

need more info... spring rates, tyres, anti-roll bar and full interior or stripped?
If you set and forget it be a compromise, u cant have best of both worlds in one setting

toe i recommend to have zero

castor i recommend maximum

and camber - 2 front
and -1.5 on rear

thats for a ok setup for street and track..

We modify our stock arms, good suspension specialist can do that with out camber kits.

Good base setup I would recommend for you:

Front: 0 toe, 3deg camber castor 4deg+
Rear: 0-10mm toe-in (some rear toe will make the car easier to drive) 1.5 to 2 deg camber.

Our crx we run:

Front: 5 deg on left front, 4 deg right front camber (track we race on being clockwise) 5deg caster. 10mm toe-out

Rear: 4 deg camber (soon to be 3deg) 10mm toe in
Pretty good on track but abit hectic on the road, to compensate we just run more than half tank fuel :)
