Fun thread.
Just thinking out loud after reading this, so please no need for that ghost busters flame thrower
Looking for a little open discussion and perhaps some feedback on what I dialed to, a bit different than op but not by a lot
I run with up front with Perrin caster correction, but you can do the same with avo or custom lca like robispec, nt sure what the results are like using eccentric parts or a lca vs a combination thereof of similar tech, with front, is simple enough. I didn't gain much camber up from from drop alone up front . The rear, well I'm using just lca for now but later plan some additions to my setup.
I can achieve the alignment spec (I think) I want, today. I gained .75 caster and am ok where I am, but I know there is room for refinement. Later adding rear Uca and robispec front lca will complete the deal for me, very happy with my camber plates and rsm at the moment and haven't found a good reason to do those extra things but I have a to do yet to check off and that is drive robis car, a test drive or ride in csg setup that is a bit more aggressive ( wish I had money for a trailer, the cool tracks are all so far away)
Seems like perhaps folks overlooking the benefit of caster gain. Also I tried running lots of camber but there is marginal gains for me on a dual duty build, that I want to eventually lean tracking, it's a bit soft which is very street friendly, and rotates nice in corners. My street tires don't like excessive camber but my track rubber seems to eat it up. I need to get to where I can align for a 700 mile drive get to the track and know what to dial to where, next.
I actually got to a point I felt it was too low and raised it back up. I can provide where I am at, height and spec wise, but don't know where I am on height meaning i wonder if i should go lower...but I know this is relevant the sweet spot n the rear seems to be about -1.7 , over 1.9 it's not getting me any extra perceived grip, hard to verify without actual track time, but that's my gut. I'm at about 2 inches drop in the rear. I may come up a quart inch
Up front 1.8 drop was good but about my limit, I could go lower but it gets twitchy if I go too low, tho the front end sticks nicely with little to no understeer
I settled for rear camber of -1.6 front I'm at -2.1, tho the track rubber seems to like even more, it gets funny feeling over a hundred in a straight line with too much camber, up past 120
My front caster is about -7.0, I am liking that a whole lot
Front toe is a hair negative and rear toe just a hair positive both between .10 to .20 degrees
