S14 Autocross Suspension Geometry??

I've been searching for a thread with people sharing what geometries they are running for a race application; all I could find was for low-low's or drift.

I know the Hoosier A7's require -2.5 degrees camber.

I have an S14, Megan track coilovers, Megan rear adjustable control arms, P2M front adjustable lower control arms, Tein tie rods.

Could anyone give some direction or advice on the proper suspension geometry for autocross?

Alignment specs and geometry are a bit different. . Youll want more camber than that for the front. Geberally people run at lest 3 degrees in front, zero toe or maybe a touch of toe out, and 7ish degrees of caster.

For the back, 1.5ish degrees if camber, 1/8 toe in or so, and thats a decent place to start.

Really getting some good shocks and a good diff will make quite a significant improvement for autox.

Nissanroadracing.com is where you should be looking for info.
