I was wondering if anybody could give me a good starting point for a four wheel alighnment. The car will

be used on road courses only. I don't have camber plates yet I do have camber adjustment in the rear.

I need all the help I can get in the corners because I'm getting my *** kicked on the straights.

thanks

There isn't much you can do to a stock suspension setup. Getting better tires is just about all you can do without changing the suspension. You can't really do much with camber adj. in just the rear b/c if you give it a more aggresive angle in the rear it'll understeer like more without the front adjusted.



Maybe you could make a little more toe in in the front. I'm pretty sure toe in promotes oversteer but i may be wrong. You'll lose a little more top speed and wear your tires more but it'll help correct the understeer a little if you were to change the camber in the back a little.



I've realised that if you want to be the fastest on the track you better have one of the bigger wallets on the track too. I've settled for just improving my own skills. I just want a well balanced car to learn all the skills so that one day if i ever have enough money to buy the badest of the badest of cars i could drive one the way it should be.

should i get as much negative camber as i can up front. The rear camber adjustment was to correct the camber after it was lowerd.

get as much negative camber in the front as you can. i'm liking zero toe right now too, it turns in a lot faster. maybe less toe in in the rear too

Thanks for the input. Should I get camber plates?

check this article out:

don't forget to check out page 2, one part you will probably find interesting is:

The RX-7 shock absorber's top rubber mounting block is eccentric; by re-positioning it, one can slightly adjust camber and caster. To do this, raise the front of the vehicle and support it with jack stands. Remove the rubber cap on the suspension tower over the shock absorber, and remove the four nuts holding the shock's top mounting block to the suspension tower. The dot indicator is usually pointed toward the inside front of the engine compartment. Turn the mounting block until the dot indicator is pointed to the inside rear of the engine compartment. This will increase caster by 30' to 45', changing it from tire factory setting of 4degrees 40' to about 5degrees 30'.
