I had an alignment done recently, but wondering what alignment specs people are using. Are they all over the map, or do most people use similar specs?
Here's what I got (BTW, it's a 2001 AP1 with Koni Yellow's on the top perch, CR springs, stock bars, 18x7.5"+47/18x8"+43 wheels, street tires):
Front Toe. . +0.5deg
Front Camber -1.66deg/-1.58deg
Front Caster +6.17deg
Rear Toe . . +0.42deg
Rear Camber. -2.92deg
Any suggestions for changes? The tail tends to break loose a lot, but perhaps I just need to be lighter on the throttle. Have been thinking about pulling off the rear bar just to see what that does, since the rear bar on this year is the stiffest they ever made. Was wondering how much of a difference alignment changes would make, though.
I am planning to get new wheels (17x9, I think), but probably not before this event.
(Any please yell at me if this is considered hijacking this thread...)

Not sure about what the twitchy was is due to but most zero the front toe. Your tires must scrub like crazy.
This worked as a good baseline for me
Front camber: -1.5
Front toe: 0 total
Caster: max ( almost 7 I think)
Rear camber: -2.5
Rear toe: 1/4 or 1/8 total (can't remember where I ended up)

I'm not sure what .5 deg toe is in inches but it seems like it's quite a bit.
