Draker Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I am going to take my car in to get aligned before I head up to Canby. I've been searching around trying to find alignment spec recommendations as most stops are going to be confused with the non stock setup. I called Schwabs and they denied me. They referred me to a shop that charges $90 hr to do custom alignments. That's all fine, I get it. I've done plenty of alignments and I wouldn't risk buying the customer a set of tires or risk some weird handling issue. What I am looking for is recommended specs for front Camber, Caster, and Toe. Setup is simple, it's lowered but not slammed on 280zx struts with GC 250lb coil overs. Rear is lowered on D50 springs. Driving conditions with by DD with good handling. Talking with Busta Nut, he guided me towards: -1.7 to -2° Camber1/16" tow in (per side) or ~ .245° +1.7 to +2° Caster Stock 510 specs:1°40' Caster1° Camber.236"-.354" Toe in Dime quarterly specs:Left FrontCamber -1.00 Caster +1.80 Toe +0.04"Right FrontCamber -1.00 Caster +2.30 Toe +0.04" There is a lot of variance through all of these. Obviously stock is not a good representation of what I am trying to achieve, but it's there for reference. I'm looking for feedback. What are you running with 280zx struts up front? I am hoping to get this aligned tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 So here is my setup, which everyone says is crap but I like it and it drives straight. -2° camber +2° caster (5° but you need adjustable lcas and t/c rods) 1/8"-3/16" tow out, that's right, out. The reason for the tow out is it is initiates the turn faster, great for autocross and such. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Regardless of suspension used, wouldn't you set it for (more or less) stock 510? Quote Link to comment
