S14 Alignment Settings for a Drift Setup

[Slidin240Wayz]

Hello,
I was given these numbers by an alignment specialist who tracks his car as well How do they look?


Front Camber: As far negative within spec
Front Caster: 8.5
Front Toe: 0

Rear Camber: As far negative within spec
Rear Toe: 0 or slightly toe in

'within' spec
hahahaha
mo camba up front, imo.
go read the MANY alignment threads
for shame for a premie to post such a thread. sigh.

Ha, I was gonna see if you'd post your specs Aaron.

O well, I need an alignment soon, so I don't think a recent updated thread would be so bad.

i get my aewsome alignment tomorrow
then i can do sweet burnouts on hilltops and at drivethrus
oh yeah
i cant wait
too excited to drive the new beast!

I have my setup as following
F camber -2.4 -2.5
toe - as close to zero as I can get it
Caster +8.3
R camber -2.0
toe - again as close to zero as I can get it
This is with heavy street driving in mind not a full track car setup. You just need to try different setting and see which one you like best

But I do agree with Dousan you might want to setup more camber in the front than the back so your ass end will rotate a bit more while the front grips

[!Zar!]

Aaron already posted his specs a few times. s14 and s13.

I know mine are somewhere floating around also.

I'll post up some links when I get to or off of work.

s14 current alignment:

Left Front
-1.1 Camber
7.3 Caster
1/32 Toe

Right Front
-1.4 Camber
6.8 Caster
1/32 Toe

Left Rear
-2.4 Camber
1/32 Toe

Right Rear
-2.6 Camber
3/16 Toe (tapped a curb so it changed)

All these settings can't be changed since i have springs/shocks with no multi-link. Once i get a real suspension setup i'll update this!

would my difference in caster on both sides affect my steering? its 0.5 degree difference. right now the steering feels probably 2x stiffer than it was before i had a crash last year. replaced the steering rack with a used one, better than the old one but still stiff.

i noticed that the TC rod bracket was a bit bent on one side tho, not sure if that would affect anything. anyone know?

TC rod bracket kind of dictates the position of the TC rod, but might not be too bad if its not deformed longitudinally(?) [fwd/bkwd]. I just got an alignment and my caster is 5.3 and 5.7. It drives fine. Haven't tracked w/ new setup yet, but ill let u kno if it sucks.
