Hey guys,

Just got coilovers and an alignment. Michelin Pilot Super Sports 325 - R Nitto Invo 275 - F (Hey, they're still good!)

What can you tell me about this setup?

Too aggressive? No.

I would want a little bit of toe-in in front and rear and less camber in the rear. See the Pfadt chart below.

I'm running -3.0 camber front and -1.6 rear. My car sees a lot of street use too. I agree that your rear camber is a little more than needed. Your front camber is light if you are running r compounds on the track

I will be using street tires at the track (I only have one set of wheels)

Rule of thumb is about a half a degree less in the back than in the front. With that much in the back you will have a good bit of wear on the insides. With your -1.6 in the front I'd be looking at more like -1.1 in the back.

The reason for that is that you lose negative camber when you turn the front wheels, due to kingpin inclination angle, and the back tires don't lose any since they don't steer.

I'd be cranking back some negative camber in the back since it isn't going to help handling, the car is going to push the way it is set up now anyway, so all you gain from more negative camber in the back is more inside tire wear.

Umm, I think you got the alignment backwards. You have more camber in the rear than the front. It should be the other way around. If the numbers were backwards, it would be a nice street/track alignment for street tires.

Anything under -2.0 is not aggressive, but your running street tires so running -3.0 would be a waste as you won't get enough grip to take advantage of all that camber.

Thanks for the tips guys.

I actually meant to take the pfadt specs to the alignment shop, but totally fogot! Doh!

Will try to dial back rear camber. Any thoughts on toe? all pfadt specs for dual and street use say no toe.

What they all said, too much neg in the rear for what you have in front.

I run -3 front -1.6 rear for race/slicks.

I'm running -.8 front on the street and pull shims to get -1.6 on track
i leave the rear alone at -1.1
Heinracy liked my set up at VIR and I'm using PSS also
