Is there a KG/MM website....that works?

Ok, here's a pic of my S2K lowered with KG/mm DR21 Race springs with 18" OZ Superleggera's. Offsets are approx. 45 front, 55 rear.



I also just got my car aligned and here are my specs (all values in degress, unless otherwise stated):

LEFT FRONT

Camber:
Honda Spec: -0.3 to -0.7
My Spec: -0.5

Caster:
Honda Spec: 5.8 to 6.3
My Spec: 7 --> I went for a bit heavier steering feel.

Toe:
Honda Spec: -0.04in to 0.04in
My Spec: 0.01in

RIGHT FRONT

Camber:
Honda Spec: -0.3 to -0.7
My Spec: -0.5

Caster:
Honda Spec: 5.8 to 6.3
My Spec: 7.4 --> I went for a bit heavier steering feel.

Toe:
Honda Spec: -0.04in to 0.04in
My Spec: 0.01in

LEFT REAR

Camber:
Honda Spec: -1.3 to -1.7
My Spec: -1.7

Toe:
Honda Spec: 0.08in to 0.16in
My Spec: 0.06in

RIGHT REAR

Camber:
Honda Spec: -1.3 to -1.7
My Spec: -2

Toe:
Honda Spec: 0.08in to 0.16in
My Spec: 0.06in

I'm in no way saying that these are the ideal alignment specs -- I'm just posting my settings to give you guys an idea of one, out of many, alignment specs with a car lowered with KG/mm's.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the great info Shamu.

Can you explain to me why your camber and caster values for the front and rears are slighlty different? What is the benefit? I do not know too much about settings and just curious.

Thanks.

more negative camber in the rear induces more understeer on this car / takes out some excess oversteer.

I'm currently running -1.25 in the front and -2 in the rear.

Shamu do you have any rubbing issues with those rims? What size tires are you running?

Shamu

I do not have any rubbing/fender scratching issues with my current setup.

Shmu is that that final reading on a settled car or is that up in the air on the laser system. Have you noticed any side to side variation in your handling due to the small differences in front camber spec.

Mine right now is so far out of wack I believe it is causing some very strange high speed problems with my car.

Shamu

The alignment specs I posted were from the printout I received after they finished my alignment. Having said so, I believe they are the readings that the computer takes when your car is on the hoist and the lasers are reading your alignment settings.

I'm not sure how you could get alignment readings from a car that is on the ground...maybe you can, but I'm not sure how.

What kind of tires are you running shamu?
