4 wheel alignment settings for track use

[kazman]

Hi all,

Does anyone know the best settings for the above? This is for a 1990 car. Car is for 90% track use, 10% getting to the tracks!

I have done a search, but could not find anything that appeared official / widely recognised.
Thanks.

Where are you base?

Lanny's settings are well recommended.

Thanks, the description given for the reasons for those values look encouraging.

Depends what tyres, engine power etc etc.
I pretty much know what most European MX5's run but that won't help if you are running Turbo/SC

Thanks for the reply.

It is 100% standard on 15" wheels.

Right
Nothing radical is the answer because you don't have any power and radical scrubs off speed.

Front
5 degrees caster
2 degrees neg camber
parallel or a tad of toe out (9minutes)overall

Rear
2 degrees neg camber
a tad of toe in (9minutes)overall

The racers run more rear camber but thats your choice

Thanks for the reply.

That much front camber? Seems like a higher value than i have seen elsewhere.

Half a degree seems more common, with five and a half degrees of caster.

Is that half a degree front, 2 degrees rear?

[GC8]

Rear -1.5 on the WIM setup that Im referring to.

Camber and toe work together. The more of one you have the more of the other you need to keep the right contact patch and to avoid excessive wear on the inside or outside edge.

Thanks all, will consider the options available.
