Track width

[-max-]

Can someone tell me the track width front and rear. Need it to do an alignment.

No, Not in there.

Measure it

It comes down to mm. Has to be perfect. I am sure that the info is out there, just hard to do a search for FRS track width. All I get is about race tracks. Lol

if you really want that kind of accuracy, a number you get from the manufacturer isnt going to be accurate to that degree either

Subaru.com has it listed as does Scion.com.

I've adjusted track width to change handling before, but never during an alignment.

Just need to know the difference between the front and rear really. My last 2 cars were 5 mm wider in the rear. Need to know this to use the string method.
Ill check there websites when I get off of work. Only have my phone right now.

Front track: 59.8
Rear track: 60.6

from http://www.cars101.com/subaru/brz/brz2013.html about halfway down the page.

Thanks. I just found it on Subaru website also.
been burnt by crappy alignments too many times. If the rack is not calibrated right, your screwed. As long as you have a flat surface, its pretty damned simple to set toe and camber. For the price of a couple alignments, you can buy the stuff to do it, and know its right.

Care to share your setup?

Alignment set-up?
2 jack stands, fishing line and a ruler for toe. Cheap, easy and accurate. Used this method on my last 3 cars
A digital level for camber. This might not be 100% accurate, but its repeatable. That is, 2.7* of camber might actually be 2.8*, but that sodas not really matter. What matters is how the tire is being used and being able to repeat the set up you want.

I've been setting toe by this method for 10 years now (WRX and Mini). It works well. I have a measuring device that resembles a long skinny triangle to give me the distances in mm (or tenths of a mm) between the string and tire. I have a digital camber measuring device as well, but rarely need to use it.
