Need help with alignment settings
Hey guys. I'm curious about what kind of alignment settings you are using front and back. I run about 1 1/2' negative camber up front and about 1/2' negative camber in back. Caster and toe in up front still puzzle me. I'm not sure where to go with these. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, I run Kumho V710 tires. Thanks!

I read that any caster over 7.0 could cause your power steering pump to eventually fail.
My guy could not get over -1.5 camber on my fronts. I guess he would need to shim the A-arm support to go more negative? That is too advanced for me and my street tires though.

Bill,
You didn't say if your car is a full time track car or do you still drive it on the street. My advice would be differant. If a full time track car, front toe out 3-4mm, rear toe in 1-2mm. Camber up front negative 2.5, rear as much as you can get. If driven on the street, these settings would wear out your tires prematurely. Front toe out 0-1mm, camber around 1.5 negative. Rear toe in 0-1mm, camber around 1 negative.
