alignment settings

DirtKing · 05-11-2002, 05:06 PM

my car has the 95 spindles...how do these settings sound for a performance street application:

toe: 1\16 inch in
camber 1 degree negative
caster: as much positive caster as my hotchkis delta plates allow me.

That is about what I have on my car. Sounds pretty good.

Sounds about right, but watch the tire wear for too much/little camber.
Also, if you can borrow someone's bumpsteer measuring tools and bumpsteer it, you might find some room for improvement there too...
