Rear specs
 
Not sure if this is good specs or not? I'm daily street driven a track MAYBE once a year. 370 sport stock tire size.

Oh yeah, alignment is for swift springs.

You need less camber if you don't want to eat tires in the rear. Personally I'd run closer to -1.5 to -1.7. Not sure about the toe as it's in degrees but fwiw I have my rear toe set to 1/16" toe in total.

:iagree: That's a lot of toe in too, 1/4"+.
.03123 = 1/32" ea side, or .0625 = 1/16" total toe.
Toe in or out is actually more of a tire eater than the camber. I ran -2.5 rear camber until I got toe bolts without much uneven wear at all. That was with the same rear toe setting rear, 1/16", in and dead Zero in front.

I'm so lost. So what should I be at guys? I see degrees of total .30 total toe. What should it be at then?

You're just under 3/8" toed in = .30 That's a lot.
Think of .5 = 1/2", .25 = 1/4", .125 = 1/8", etc.

Did the lock out bolts work for you?

FLUJOKE 09-28-2015 07:07 PM

Yes I got the lockout bolts on. So what fraction/ degree should I be at kind people.

Just go with 0 toe. Honestly the difference between 0 toe and whatever 1/16" total toe in is in degrees is probably insignificant for most people handling wise (I sure I probably couldn't tell the difference).

if you go 0 toe; you may lose control on high speed acelleration! Toe number's look fine.
also if you don't burn your tires/camber will be ok-better cornering.
i got -1.7 camber & still smoke the inner part of my tires more.
as far as toe.....a guy set mine at 0 & ~Z~ was very unstable under hard acceleration above 80...lots of dancing around in back.
Road force will pull tires outwards somewhat.

So main objective I'm getting from all this is to take rear camber to -1.5 to -1.7..... What is the degree in toe to get, b/c i don't want 0 toe if I'm going to lose control. thank you all for the help

Also; as you adjust camber more + (outwards) toe will increase (inward) and will need to be adjusted back to spec.
Alway's be sure and do rear alignment first before going to the front!
have a good evening.

You dead on in spec right now!

jchammond 09-28-2015 07:54 PM

A little old lady could get by with 0 rear toe; but i'm subject to hit the speed limiter..oops
