Got my Alignment done at Revworks - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

jadewbj · 10-12-2012, 05:44 PM

One of the most pain in the ass things of having a lowered car is finding somewhere to get an alignment. Normal tire places will basically tell you no way you are getting on their machine.

Luckily for me Revworks is around the corner from my house and they do performance alignments on cars all the time.

Here is my before and after setup. They did a mild performance setup that would allow for good daily driving. Look how screwed up my alignment was after the Tein install. If you wondered if it is important to do an alignment after a suspension install this should answer it for you. I would have had no tires if I kept driving like this.

Wow, toe was way out after the install, camber looks good after the alignment but still more toe in the rear than i would prefer.

Hopefully with some arms we can get it better later.

I need to get mine installed myself so i can get my camber corrected, i have more camber in the right rear with only a .8" drop

Was looking at all the left-over toe on the rear but now I see that you didn't do control arms yet.

I went with the TEINs, too, and ordered the AP control arms so definitely hoping to scrub that toe out. Otherwise, gonna be scrubbing rubber instead!

I get my BRZ done there then Enjuku had to go and do theirs and now you...

JK :P Revworks does good stuff, been sending referrals their way to all of my friends.

Ill be back for an update to mine later this month hopefully.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, that's a perfectly fine amount of rear toe in.

My toe was out of whack like that, made it very twitchy and unnerving to drive. I'd go back and zero that out.

How did you get -2 camber in the front?
Do you plan to get control arms or the whiteline camber bushings?

This was a mild performance alignment according to them. They said that the car is basically the same as setting up an S2K and used that as a baseline.

I have tein flex coilovers with camber plates in the front.

The car is nothing like an S2000 in terms of suspension setup or geometry.

What we have found for track use is to get about neg 3* camber in the front and neg 2* in the rear with 0 toe front and .15 to .2 total degrees in rear. Any less than that and the car gets loose at high speed.

AGREED ! -2.0 camber is the sweet spot in the rear for sure and yes when able to run close to -3.0...WOW WOW WOW. Getting caster up around 6.6ish makes for a "turning" car !

^These guys know their stuff, I would heed those numbers and advice well

jadewbj · 10-17-2012, 10:57 AM

I am checking with them to see what they say. I am no suspension guru and went with the vendors recommendation.

Rev Works · 10-17-2012, 11:18 AM

We understand that this car is not an S2000, we were simply using it as a base point to set OE alignment specs. This particular customer said he wanted a mild performance alignment mostly used for daily driving. We do agree though that for track use the numbers listed by the other vendors, would be good specs as well.

Thank you for the write up Buddy, and to the other vendors for your input!
