My Alignment with Bilsteins
 
Just install the b14 kit today. Here is my alignment with virtually no adjusting except front toe to 0. Installed front with SPC camber bolts.

Front Driver: Front Passenger:
Camber: -1 9/16 -1 3/16
Caster: +5 7/16 +5 7/16
Lowered: 1" 1"
Toe: 0

Rear Driver: Rear Passenger:
Camber: -2 1/4 -2 1/8
Toe: In 1/16"
Lowered: 3/4" 1"

I really surprise I didn't get more front camber since I already had -1 from the camber bolts. Besides that I am very happy with the coilovers. Ride is really not any stiffer but feels more planted. I will test at a track this next week.

Thoughts on these settings?

Basically -2 all around are you running super wide wheels or low offsets?, 9.5-10.0" widths..or just wanted really aggressive?

Guys who are tracking tend to go that deep or that are stance abit, seems most doing auto x or DD are more in the -1.5 f/r


Either way your springs will settle and you'll need to re do alignment a month or so down road then can change if want different so no biggie really..

Stock wheels with PSS 17/45/225's.
I go to a local time attack almost once a week.

I will play with them as they break in.

I just hope the more camber in the rear won't cause understeer.

Front camber looks about right with only camber bolts. They don't really gain much camber under compression unlike the rear suspension. You could always add camber plates to the front if you need additional camber.

Sorry my brain can't compute the fractions :bonk:

What does a 1/16" toe equate to in degrees?

It is around 0.30 degs.

1/16" = .0625"
Tire diameter = 25"

1/16" toe-in = sin-1(.0625"/25") = 0.14 degrees
