Alignment Questions

dxrat · 07-15-2003, 09:36 PM

I am going to the track and I want to get the sti aligned. I am new to all wheel drive and would like some opinions on how I should set up the car (castor,camber,toe,front,rear) it has a very limited street life. Tire wear is not very high priority but I want a happy medium. Thanks

What I have done, for 2 reasons. the stock alignment seems to be out of spec, plus trying to get more - Cam in the front.

Front: as much - cam as possible, this will be around -1.1 / -1.2
Back: not adjustable.
Zero toe all round, some say + 1/16 in front or back to help with turn in, anyway I left it at zero.

I found with my stock alignmnet the toe was all over the place and had 0.0 camber in the front.

Do they sell anything to get adjustment of the rear end or is that not advisable?I thought alot of people have realigned the sti for what ever reason.

You can purchase alignment bolts for the rear if necesary.
