Track alignment spec

scruffydog · 02-28-2013, 11:21 AM

I hardly drive my car as DD as I commute to work on Motorcycle. I avg about 135 miles DD a week on 370z and track about 4-5 times a year.

I currently have set up as:
Front
Camber: -2.9
Toe: 0
Wheels: Stock Rays 19X9
Tires: Bridgestone Potenza RE-11
Size: 245/40R-19

Rear
Camber: -1.8
Toe: 0.2
Wheels: Stock Rays 19X10
Tires: Bridgestone Potenza RE-11
Size: 285/35R-19

I will be going 18x10.5 w/ Hankook R-S3, 285/35-18 Square setup soon.

I know a lot of people have recommended -1.8 camber in the rear due to the amount of compression our cars have. But it does not work for me. Maybe it's the weight I've removed but I have -2.3 rear. Also run 305 rear with true type Coilover setup.

I am doing -2.1 both front and rear at the moment.

This is good stuff... There seems to be a lot of ways to do it... I'm on swift springs with stock wheels. I put a camber kit in the rear and am getting an alignment on Friday. Was hoping to get back to stock specs initially, but there seems to be a lot of options, I drive my car on the street more than the track, but will auto cross and have an occasional trackday.

2010 with stock sport Rays, Accelera tires 245 front 275 rear with a cusco front sway, stock rear sway and tein lowering springs ... No idea what specs to get

When I set up my Z for the One Lap of America, I will be going with:

Front
Toe: 0
Camber -2.5

Rear:
Toe 1/16-1/8 total toe in
Camber -1.8

All settings will be done with a driver IN the driver's seat. Which I consider a necessity. Also, this is with stock springs and shocks, aftermarket front upper arms.

Pretty close to what I run.

Plus I have my caster set at +6

PharmDZ · 02-24-2015, 06:36 PM

^^^ what they said. Pretty much what I run and the car feels great. Problem for me is I run so many different tire setups and switch between autox and HPDE. Seems to be a nice medium though.

Front (SPL)
Toe: -.05 (slight toe out)
Camber -3.3
Caster 8.7

Rear: (SPL camber and toe)
Toe: 0 (this did work but as I have softened the rear it now needs a little toe in)
Camber -2
