Alignment specs for track use
What's a good alignment for track use? I do drive the car on the road and am actually taking a road trip from Chicago, New Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta, Key West, Palm City, Hilton Head Island, Norfolk, DC, then home.
This was from the open tracking list a couple years back. Are the "more agressive track/street" good specs to use.
====
Front Individual Toe +0.04 degree +/- 0.10 degree
Front Sum Toe +0.08 degree +/- 0.20 degree
Front Individual Caster +6.9 degree +/- 0.50 degree
Front Cross Caster within +/- 0.25 degree
Front Individual Camber -0.70 degree +/-0.50 degree
Front Cross Camber within +/-0.25 degree
Rear Individual Toe -0.01 degree +/- 0.10 degree
Rear Sum Toe -0.02 degree +/- 0.20 degree
Rear Individual Camber -0.68 degree +/- 0.50 degree
Rear Cross Camber within +/- 0.50 degree
For more aggressive track/street use, increase front individual camber to 1.0 degrees, and rear individual camber to .8 degrees, while reducing front toe to .06 degrees, and rear toe to the minimum (.01 degrees). This is a very drivable setup and increases mechanical grip noticably. Some auto-crossers will get even more agressive, setting rear camber at 1.1 degrees and front at 1.5 degrees, and toe-out the front at .02 degrees, but this will cause a lot of tire wear on the street, and make the car a little "darty" on regular surface streets, but makes them really grab on tight courses on marginal surfaces.
