Non OE Camber specs

Dylanize · 10-20-2016, 02:46 PM

Hey 1Addicts,

Just threw some fresh Michelin PSS's on and want to get a custom alignment.

However... When I bought the car I noticed it had Vorshlag camber plates up front on the stock sport suspension. Not sure about the rear to be honest.

So what I'm wondering is, can anyone recommend some good camber/alignment specs for a daily driver that enjoys some good twisties and spirited driving regularly?

I don't know what the camber is at currently but I am assuming it isn't factory, at least up front.

Thanks, as always

I've got my eye on the set from Dinan. Also interested in seeing what people have to say about specs.

I'm at and I think I've seen a general consensus that we like to lower our cars around and inch and shoot for around 2deg front and rear camber for a sporty daily driver.

Alignment shops I deal with still want to put my toe, etc within normal factory recommended stats. I try to tell them my car is now like a 1M and get them to at least look at those stats and try to put my car around those or somewhere between zero toe and the lowest factory setting. You know you can add and remove rear camber but to change the front you'll need to add plates, etc or "pull the pins".

My tires are wearing great and handling is as good as can be expected on this platform.

Thanks for the help. Guess I'll aim for -2 F -2 R

I really don't want any toe or very little. Perhaps mentioning the 1M specs is a solid idea for a baseline.
