Need Agressive Alignment Specs
Ok all you canyon carvers out there. i need the specs to take to the alignment shop. This car will see maybe 5 track days in a year and is primarily a daily driver. I want it to handle like its on rails.
Mods are lowered on stock bolts, with cut bushings. T1 bars with stock end links. Been looking at the koni shocks but stock as of now. What specs would you all recommend?

I did -1.5 camber front, - 1.3 back, slight toe out frt, slight toe in rear, lotsa caster, cross camber caster front for street. I like auto x...would go over -2.0 front camber as I still had a little push. Does this make sense?

I agree with aggressive negative camber, negative 1 degree works for me, it does cause some abnormal tire wear on the insides. and lots of caster. I do not like toe out, aids for quick turn in, but very twitchy at high speed. Others may disagree. Not everyone sets up a suspension the same, you need to get close then fine tune for what suits your style. Lots of really good books on the subject too. What works on the track may not be very comfortable on the street. Don't forget to adjust tire pressure for balance also, everyone here runs different pressures. Again, reading one of the many good books on the subject will help you adjust tire pressure to fine tune some oversteer if you like that.

My alignment was set up by Dick Guldstrand and I, and works well on the street and track.
