I want to see from front or rear angle to see what an aggressive alignment looks like. I am going to go 1.25 rear and 1.5 front negative cambers, tentatively with my 93.
I rarely drive it anymore anyways, but I am looking to see if rubbing, especially rear will be a problem with 315's in the rear and being lowered.

You should not have any problems with those settings. They are not very extreme for a C4. I have run up to -3 in the front and -2 in the rear with 315's on all 4 corners and they tuck up into the wheel wells.

How are you getting -3?

offset bushings?

no way that car is neg 2 and neg 3. we would be able to see it in the pictures.

Correction -2.5 front after looking off the old alignment sheet. You would have to ask Dick Guldstrand! His shop setup the car. I don't know if they put in offset bushings or not, but they did change out all of the bushings in the car with poly.

I can't find a picture of it while it was setup like that. I know longer race the GS so its back to about -1.5 in the front and -1 in the rear for occassional street use.

The angel was enough to tuck the top of 315's on the front into the fender well.

-2.25 front and *I think* -.9 rear. I have offset bushings in the front and the car is lowered as well.

When I AX'd my CE, we aligned it to -2.3 in front and then removed shims until it returned to a relatively stock setting. That way when I finished autocrosing I'd drive it home, loosen the upper A arm bolts and remove that number of shims and retighten. Viola! Back to stock alignment (more or less).

You aligned it then removed or added shims on the way home?

Good pics. I lowered mine as well, and offset bushings. That doesnt look aggressive. How did it handle on the street. I wont get many miles, maybe a 1000 a year.

It is OK on the street. Mine also doesn't see too many street miles. I have a fair amount of toe out (I forget how much exactly), so some tires on some roads are darty. I can definitely tell it wears the insides of the tires, but it wears pretty evenly when driving it aggressively.

Here in Hawaii, I will rarely get over 45mph.

First we aligned it to achieve good negative camber and then established the number of equally thickness shims needed to put it back to a streetable setting. Then whenever I was finished autocrossing the car, I'd loosen the upper control arm nuts and plug in the shims necessary to put it back to a street camber setting. When I AX'd the next time, I simply reversed the process. It takes a jack and about ten minutes per side to accomplish.

Great idea, need to see if the shop would do that for me.
