I thought I would start a thread for everyone to share specs or any thoughts regarding factory or track oriented alignment settings.
Edit : This first alignment was with lowering springs only and no camber plates. I had a bit too much toe in at the rear. When I installed coilovers/camber plates I settled on 1/16 total toe in the rear as recommended by HPAutosport. 0 toe with -2.8 degrees of camber front and -2.0 in the rear. Car felt great on the street and track. |

From what you posted the rear has way too much toe-in, am I reading that right?

I was put off that the m4 spec called for almost 0 toe in the rear. I've never ran so close to 0 on a rwd car. So I went in to about 4mm, equal to other f80 track alignments I've seen. Although I'm not running much camber at all. What's your setup? I could be totally wrong but I didn't think it was overkill. It doesn't help reading a alignment in MM and trying to translate/convert over from Swedish haha. |

Most of the alignments should be easy to understand the names of.
The numbers are in the order Before // Accepted range // After adjustments. So Börvärden is what the allowed specs are for each item. |

I've just heard of the f80 problems of squirm under braking with the almost 0 toe in they call for. I believe IND and others pushed it to around 4mm total to help the problem. |

We're currently setup with -2.5* camber up front with 0 toe and -2* camber in the rear with 1/16" total toe-in.

Guys, what is your preferred alignment setting for a stock car? Any thoughts on that?
I might have my tuner look at the set up since I have vibrations under heavy braking, and I do not think my brakes would be the main issue here with only 10K km driven. MR |

Anyone, how much front camber can be dialed in without aftermarket camber plates?

Camber for me as well as everyone is -1.5 up front unless you have plates. No pins to pull here. I set the rear at -2. |

The only other suspension mods are H&R sways and adjustable links. have a feeling I might be dialing back those camber figures but I have yet to see tires temps on track with the new setup. The car feels great though. 0 toe front And a little more than factory toe in rear |
