Default Stock suspension alignment for track

Guys,

I tried to max out my camber on my car for track days but I can't seem to get the same amount of camber you guys have posted.....Ii'm in need of some advice.

Front

-1 camber
-6 caster
0.01 degrees toe-out

Rear

-2.25 camber
0.3 degrees toe-in

Why can't I get -3 camber in the rear and -2 in the front like the most of you?

Thanks!

John

I couldn't. I managed to get about -1.5F/-2.5R at most. And you'll have to give up some front caster to get it.

John, AJ (I forgot his user name on here) that was driving the 06 laguna blue at SOW on Monday had -3 rear and (I believe) -2 front on stock suspension. he had it done at West End. Apparently they told him that they never got that much -ve camber out of a stock suspension before.

(Any pics from the event by any chance?)

Hey AJ, it was great meeting you and running with you guys at SOW.

I'm trying hard to clear Sunday and make it there. There's still a chance.

HI AJ,

I only got -1...which is really odd but I guess all cars are different...

How does your car handle?

Vitt: point a-b-c has pics of the track day =)

There sure is a lot of variability.
They were only able to get -1.5F/-1.8R on mine.
