Almost 'square' camber front/rear I see.

What are your I impressions of that setup? Been considering a similar approach given the rear camber adjustability limitations and/or not wanting to run hella front camber just to have more up front.

I also notice some rear toe dialed in there. My guess its the Cusco adj lower arms gives you adjustability there. Not sure what I can do with the whiteline upper rear arm camber eccentric bolts which i'm installing soon i hope. Might have to step up to the adj arms like you did. Thanks for sharing!

Front is set at -2 and the rear is at -1.6 . I chose this setup as a base point but so far has been great, the car feels neutral around the corners with little to no understeer. If the car slides it will do so gracefully with all 4 tires, i like my cars to oversteer a bit so i might try something different for my next alignment. Tire wear is perfect with this setup though, its not to close to the sidewall just perfect. I would say this alignment is a good starting point.

Yep it was possible to adjust rear toe with the arms. Not sure about doing it with the whiteline bolts though. Hope it helps. :happy0180:

Battle Mode Ready for tomorrow, Eat Sleep Time Attack!! Im so happy with this car, so far it has taken around 80 + laps of pain without any sweat. I love this little thing!! Friday the car will be going to JMS Racing to get a custom roll bar welded in as well as schroth harnesses installed. My AP Sprint Brake kit should be here around mid october and i got promised by APR they would have a wing for my car by the end of the month..... All i can say is its going to be a sweet ass winter in Texas!!!

Last track day with the stocker system on Ferodo pads, spiegler lines , and AP fluid.

Yup, clears it no problem. My sprint kit is on the way and should be here next week. But essex is using the same sized wheels on their brz and it fits perfect.

Here is a pic of the template on my wheels.
