I do about 3 track days a year. Car is driven about 15000 a year. I autox about 3 days a year also. I live in ct so the roads are better than NYC. I currently have a staggered set up running rpf1s with stock tire sizes 225/17 and 245/17. I just put eibachs springs on stock suspension with a drop of about 1 inch so I am going to head over and get an alignment. I also have a saner front sway and xbrace. Would you guys recommend uk specs or something different. I don't want my tires to last only 3000 miles but it's not a huge concern if they wear out slightly faster than stock specs. Any suggestions?

eibachs don't lower the car that much to be so concerned with alignment worries IMO. I had Swift springs on my old car and never did an alignment after install and for two years of about 1200 miles a year the tires were wearing even. Swift springs lower more than eibachs so I think you will be ok. However, my car was aligned well from the start. Hope this helps..

I run a similar alignment to the UK spec, but more camber and less toe in the rear.

I'm interested in the responses. I have almost the same setup and need to get an alignment soon.

AP1
Stock shocks
Eibach Pro Kit springs and sway bars
AP2 wheels
225/255 Tires

I found the camber went about -1 degree additional after the springs.

I'm thinking :

Max Caster
Front camber -1
Front toe 0
Rear camber -2
Rear toe ?

I did -2 front -3 rear with 225/255 and car understeered like hell.

Tomorrow I am going to change it to 2.5 front 2.0 rear.

Most of the literature out there is for ap1s and non staggered setups. I haven't seen too much in terms of recommendations for ap2 with staggered setups.

^^ true and I totaly missed that you had different tire set up from OEM. Isn't stock tire size 215/45r17 not 225?

ipopvtec

yes, and stock ap1s are 205/225 but the 225 so2 is technically "235" so ap1 205/235 and ap2 215/245

I have 225/255

Im a fan of running the least amount of toe in the rear, but the alignment shop talked me into running alittle. They said with 0 rear toe, the car will pull whenever the rear catchs a grove in the road.

btw, I have an ap2 with 225/255, ap2v1, lowered alot.
