Euro Alignment Specs
All,
I'm too lazy to do the research and I'm sure one of you have the Euro Alignment numbers.
As you may, or may not know, the Euro alignment is simply better than the factory specs. It is less "twitchy".
I currently have an auto-cross alignment that is too outrageous for the street.
Anyone have the Euro specs?
Thanks,
CB

0* toe, 1* camber, 6.5(ish)* caster front
1/32 toe in, 2* camber rear
(off the top of my head, not sure how accurate it is...but it's pretty close to what I run - 0* toe, 2.5* camber, max caster front, 0 toe, 3* camber rear)
1/32 toe in, 2* camber rear

Sounds about right...
Is the rear a total thrust angle, or 1/32 each?
I did search our site and found:
UK Alignment Specs
front castor 6.45
front camber -1.0
front toe 0.0
rear camber -2.0
rear toe 0.20 total 0.40
Is this the stuff?
Man... my alignment was last groomed for aggressive tracking. I don't track any longer. I learned enough and beat the crap out of my car enough just short of turning it into a total track car.
My current alignment settings are:
front castor 7.8
front camber -2
front toe 0
rear camber -3
rear toe 0
I highly suggest cranking up the front castor if you track road courses... it helps eliminate understeer.
Thanks!

Honestly, I love my current alignment spec.
Granted, I'm on a non-stagger setup (hence the extra front camber) and wish I had a wing/stiffer front bar, but for daily driving (which is what I do), your current alignment spec is going to give you excellent performance without excessive tire wear.
(remember: Toe is what causes inside tire wear - I have a stack of tires that will show this to be true )

If you can, sit in your car while this is being done or place the equivalent weight in the car for your "normal" driving conditions.

Didnt want to open another thread,
I went to get the euro alignment done, at first the tech looked at me and asked if I really wanted this aggressive set up. I said yes and tire wear was not an issue. He then came to me in the middle of adjusting it and said this was the closest he could get. Car feels pretty good, drives straight. Am I off enough to make a huge difference?
