Need help with autoX Alignment
 
So, say I have SPL Upper Control Arm, Rear Camber arm, and HKS Hipermax IV GT coils, hotchkis sway bar(=.=). I'm also running 285/35/18 square setup. What would be an ideal alignment for regular autoX and DD car? I don't really daily it that much tbh. I was thinking something along the lines of -2.5 F and -2.0 R? Thanks! :tiphat:

How much is "not that much"?

I'd go with:
F: -3.0° and 1/16" toe out
R: -1.0° and 1/16" toe in

and take the rear sway bar off.

That much negative camber will eat the tires up front with a lot of street driving though.

The 'not that much' part -> 10,000 miles for 2 years is what I've done.

-3.0 seems quite a lot?

Most well setup autox cars run a ton of negative front camber. I used to run ~-2.1° up front and was still getting uneven tire wear. Once I went to -3.0° the tire wear was nice and even.

With you putting ~5k mi/yr on I'd probably dial back the front camber a little bit if tire wear is a big issue for you. Maybe -2.0 to -2.5.

I'm will gromer on the setting for the track. But you also see some street use. With toe out on the front. The car will be a bit darty. Try zero toe first and see how that goes. I run -2 camber, +7 caster, zero toe in the front. -1.75 camber, and 1/16" rear toe. But I'm over squared. :eek:
