stock suspension with camber adjusters
#11
So I had my first track day with my s at SOW. Stock suspension with J's S2 camber joint. I had front: 6.5 caster, -3.45 camber, 0 toe; rear: -2.5 camber, 0.18 total toe. Needed more neg camber in the back. My tire pressure gauge broke so thats a veriable that could have effected handeling and wear. I just set my tires to 30 PSI cold. I went to the tire shop today flipped my tires and got alignment again. Fr: 6.8 caster, -3.45 camber, 0 toe; Rear: -2.65camber, 0.12 total toe. I will follow up with wear and tire temps after my next track day (may 27 ROVAL).
Psychoazn: Tires fit great, no rub, no issues, no fender roll.

I would recommend you stick with the stock toe, 0 front and 0.4 inch total in the rear. I tried .2 total in the rear and it sucked--made the car too unstable at turn-in. 1/8 inch (0.125") total is just not enough.

I ran 0 on the front and 0 on the rear on some tracks and run 1/8" total on the rear on some tracks. The car I am speaking of is the N1 Racing time attack S200 that won the championship last year.

BTW, a roll center is a great way to lower your car while still running stock suspension. Because it adjust the height on the ball joint, the lowering effect is almost 1:1 ratio. If the roll center 20mm thick, the car will be lowered almost 20mm.
Of course, you should re-check and re-adjust bumpsteer as this will alter the bumpsteer curve significantly.
BTW, I have a bumpsteer gauge that almost new for sale. I'm now using plates, so I don't need them anymore.

I dont yet have enough understanding of rollcenter to start adjusting it. Also I dont have much seat time. Right now I want a car thats close to stock but maximizes the tires so I can work on becoming a faster driver instead of a driver with a faster car. Regarding the toe settings, did you run an 1/8" on faster tracks (long straight aways) and 0 on the tighter tracks?

EDIT: Found that there are 2 version for the rear, one of which is 20mm - this answers my question.

Again, I highly recommend you stick with the stock setting until you get good enough to know you need to change it.
