RTR Wheel Alignment
 

I just picked up a set (2) of crash bolts and will look to get a proper alignment next week.

Just want see what suggested alignment settings other RTR people are running (given our restrictions) so far.

Hopefully this discussion could result in some good data as the new sway bar packages, shocks, etc come to market.

As much Camber as you can get in the front, from what I have seen its about -1.2 ... Zero toe
As much Camber as you can get in the rear, which is about -5 or so on the stock springs. .. .125 toe in, for .25 total toe in.
that will pretty much keep the rear end from Skating around.
You might need a bit more...depending on what you like. I tend to like a touch of understeer/neutral handling.

Holy cow, -5 in the rear? Does lowering the car get more in the front?

oppsy... meant -.5
not really.. maybe a little bit...I am on coilovers and camber plates...and run -2.5

Thanks! Is the rear adjustable for camber? I thought that with the stock parts the only rear adjustable setting on the rear is toe. If it camber can be adjusted as well that would be very nice!

I don't believe the rear is adjustable for camber. You need to get the Whiteline rear camber adjustment bushing (kca326). Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks but unfortunately, any aftermarket camber bolts are not allowed in the class...:cry:

Using OEM, I got -1.4 out of each front. 0 toe.
Rear is stock camber, .12 toe in each side.

Handles great, set FTD last night at an unclasses fun run autocross.

can any shop that does alignments be able to do this or should a performance oriented shop do this?

Best bet is independent shop, but tell them what you want before hand and ask if they can do it. Most chain/franchise shops will only align stock hardware and only align to specs in the computer.

this is legal for RTR?

Yes, it is legal for stock class so it is legal for RTR.

Just did mine yesterday. With the alignment and the car being on Star Specs this car is INSANE. So much fun to drive, I can't wait to take it out next Sunday at my local NYR SCCA autox. You can really tell the difference.

Tell us what you did. OEM crash bolt with alignment? What are your settings? Which wheels and what size Star Specs? Thanks.
