Alignment Suggestions (Attn: NorCal Shops!!) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Tofurky · 09-23-2016, 04:44 PM

Currently, getting back into tracking my car and I'm looking for some good alignment settings (not too worried about tire wear)

The tracks I'll spend most of my time on are:
Laguna Seca
Sonoma
Thunderhill

Suspension & Aero Mods:
Front Camber Bolts
SPC Rear LCA's
RCE Yellow Springs on Stock Shocks
Perrin Front Sway Bar
WRX Rear Sway Bar
Velox Splitter w/ Endplates
Velox Diffuser
SARD LSR Wing
TRD Canards

Tires:
17x8.25 on 225/45/17 Hankook Ventus RS3

Preferably, I would like neutral steer with a crisp turn-in

You're in SF? Go to Elite Performance.

SF Elite performance / Fremont AutoRnD

Just curious? what size is your front/rear sway bar?

PMok · 09-23-2016, 05:46 PM

yep go to Elite. They are familiar with all the tracks you mentioned and can work with you on the settings that will work best for your setup.

I don't have all the downforce mods you have but here are my alignment specs from last year, on Tein SRC coilovers. Basically you want as much neg camber as you can get, your camber bolts may not allow you to get as much as a coilover up front.

Active 86CUP participants get a discounted rate, but I think regular pricing is around $120 for a custom spec alignment. Call them to confirm.

+1 for elite performance.
