Alignment for a DD and track?

JWillis72

Anyone have alignment set up the recommend for both DD and track? I don't mind if it wears on the tires some but I don't want to kill $1200 in tires in a couple months. I have F14s 18x10+35 and 18x10+25 with 275/40/18 RE11s going on the car Friday or Saturday.

i heard corner balancing is good

I use factory settings for both and it does fine on track. Running 18x10 F14s square.

That being said. My recommendation would be to purchase Firestone Auto Care (if these shops, or something similar are in your area) lifetime unlimited alignments. I don't think they advertise this service. For like $190 you can get your car aligned as many times as you want. Pays back for itself within like 3 alignments. You can also have it aligned for the track, then go in the day after tracking and have it reset to stock. As many times as you want. For as long as you own the car.

I take full advantage of this and also get my car aligned every time I go in for any other service or state inspection.

I haven't changes anything in the suspension yet, by you asking that I'm guessing there is do adjustment? It's my next project, any recommendations? I'm planning on doing KW v3s.

Rusty

If you want to adjust camber and caster. There is only one. SPL upper arms. Stock arms, you can't do anything with them.

Just got a corner balance done by RT Tuning in PA. Installed my KW v3's three weeka beforehand. Car handles unbelievably good! Went with -2.1 front -1.6 rear. Basically just opted for a bit more front negative camber since I run slicks when I autox and from what ive read that helps a bunch.

JWillis72

What are you running for sway bars?

PharmDZ

Eibach front/rear, front set to stiff and rear on soft

Optimiser

Whiteline front and rear both on max stiffness.

JWillis72

Interesting, I thought I would have to go softer with coil overs. Thanks for the info!

Rusty

I got the Hotchkis bars front and rear. The rear bar set on the softest settting. Which is too stiff. I'm going to change the rear bar back to the stock Nismo bar, and change my rear camber from -1,75 to -1.5 based on tire wear. The front with the Hotchkis bar, camber at -2, caster at +6, and toe at zero is great.

Apologise to bring this again, but for the same question which is a combination weekend cruising and track days, is this one here is enough.
I have SPL front arm and Z1 arms in rear. Also hotchkis bar in front. Rear bar is stock.
Tiers are Michelin ps4s on nismo wheels 19.

Is -1.5 rear and -2 front will be good? And both toe at zero. What about caster?

Appre your reply guys, because our track days will start soon.

Regards,
Nasm
