  • Ultimate street suspension alignment

    Hi, im in the process of ordering all the stuff i need for the ultimate street suspension, and was wondering that the best alignment set up is for it. I have 14 inch rims with 165/55 atr-k's (if that matters). Thanks!

    I run -3 camber up front -1.5 (factory aspire camber)in the rear. 0 to 1/16th tow in up front and whatever the factory rear aspire is.
    It drives really nice and stable on the street and is good on the autox corse.

          Too lazy to try to fix it lol. Those shims are a pita to adjust. As long as it's close to 0 and your toe is 0 it doesn't really matter.

              If you set toe to zero so they're not scrubbing then it's not bad. I had Achilles on my red car for around 20K miles with no major camber wear on the rear at -3.5ish, even with a few autocrosses. The front tires didn't last long since I drive it hard on the street and autocross it, but that's not from camber. I did get around 6K miles out of a pair of soft compound Nankang NS2R's on the front, and that was with a couple autocrosses. I thought that was pretty decent for not rotating them.


              This is a Federal I had on my white car, -3.5ish and zero toe all around. Has around 3-4k miles when I took that pic and there's no noticeable wear from camber.

                I've had similar results with my car at -2.5° to -3° degrees of camber all around. Street tires have no odd or unusual wear with 5K and auto-crossing. Toe will eat tires much fast than camber since it produces a grinding like effect on the edges.
