Alignment Settings - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

With a track event fast approaching, I'm thinking I need to get on the ball about getting my suspenison aligned since the suspension kit went on weeks ago.

Anyway, I'll be running at a road course and hopefully will make a parking lot autox or two this year, and the rest of the time the car is my daily driver.  The settings I'm thinking so far are:

FRONT
Camber: -2 to -2.5 degrees
Toe in: 1mm
Castor: already set to max

REAR
Camber: -1 to -1.5 degrees but will depend on how much the stock adjustment allows and how far out it is now
Toe in: 0 to 1mm

Am I missing anything?  As a recap, the car has basically stock power, with f/r stb's, whitline spings, sway bars, front bushings, and koni shocks.

Why don't you go with the recommended Whiteline settings of:

-1.5 front camber
max front caster
0 front toe
-1.0 to -1.5 rear camber
.5mm rear toe-in

I'd say set it up that way.  They tested cars on racetracks to get those numbers.  And I've trusted their setup so far......
