Default My new alignment

Well i just had my full 4 wheel alignment done and the change is so noticeable. Steering is super responsive now and a lot lighter and cornering is a lot easier and flatter than before. my car is lower 25mm with Ohlins DFV

Front

Camber -1.63
Caster +6.32
toe 0.00

Rear

Partial toe: 0.20
Camber -3.20



Best money i had spent so far!!!

I have a feeling that might be a combined number.

3.2/2 = 1.6 per wheel.

the rear is 3.2 per side, will be for half road/track use but the response from the steering now is great!!!

now pushing hard in the conrner with progressive understeer. As i will be putting 245 Dunlop Z1 front and rear soon so i think that should be just right for the front!!
