Alignment Settings & Parts - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Let's talk what to change and the parts needed to change it to improve performance for street driven vehicles. Usually I'd just add a half degree of front camber and that's it but I just heard the stock spec is only 1/2° (and it can't be increased with stock parts)?!?

I figure most of you guys have the experience from the last generation to be messing with toe as well. Let's hear what new owners are finding...

For street driving all you should need are crash bolts in the lower hole. That usually gets you into the 1.5* range.

I’d go spc cam bolts in the lower hole and take the lower bolts and put them in the upper hole, -2 is a nice sport street camber imho.

Front - Crash bolt/camber bolt. Each good for roughly 1° each.
Combo already mentioned net me -2°--2.3°(different alignment racks, same settings)

Pedders offset strut mount can add an additional -0.75° or so.

Rear - adjustable lower control arms/adjustable toe arms.

Doh! Thanks for the correction.

Tire choice and intended usage are important factors, along with the rest of your suspension set up.

The crash bolts are so cheap and easy they're a no-brainer for even a basic street car. Plenty more you can do after that for more camber and dialing in everything.
