Alignment Recommendation
Curious to hear what you guys would recommend for my BR86. It's a DD which does 60% fwy & a spirited drive a few times a year, no tracking, car as follows:
18x8.5+42 with 225/40 tyre, Eibach ProKit so about 18mm drop, front SPC camber bolts & rear SPC LCA. What sort of alignment would you dial in ? Cheers edit: actually once off the fwy I like to utilise the car's turning prowess at any given opportunity so I would more often than not be cornering faster than most - it is after-all a sports car but it still gets driven quite sedately compared to others

I'm not sure what stock numbers are but I'd think something like -1.5 front and -.5 rear for camber would be good. Stock toe and caster

Thanks Steve. I have spoken to Josh a few times re a set of blues a while ago then decided against coilovers & just swapped the springs. Josh is amazingly helpful although I'm not sure he would give me some numbers for a virtually stock setup that's only marginally lower & doesn't involve any of their product.
I'm thinking -1.5F & -1R camber each side, zero toe F & about 1-1.5mm toe-in @ the rear, so essentially a stock setup except for the negative camber of which there is more up front for improved turn-in feel. Can you remember the #'s on your car ? |

I just take mine to my suspension guys (True Track) and they work their magic.

@fuddbutter - yep I recall you recommending them in the past. What they charge you for wheel alignment ? How is your car setup ?
