Alignment

[Schassis707]

Ok so i have a few questions about the subject of alignment...

First off, Where is a good local shop (state location please) of where i can get an alignment with specs i bring of what i want. Or close to what i want, depends bc i have stock rear arms.

Secondly, I put on new heim tie rod ends for bumpsteer adjustability and was wondering if the heim made it harder to turn? (I run no powersteering, and sliding is now even more of a pita). I measured from where i had the previous tie rod and compensated for different length of both ends as well so it shouldnt be off much if any from what it previously was.

And finally, I want SPECS! Daily driven, occasional track driven cars pref. How much toe, camber and caster are you running?

Ive searched enough, googled a bunch. But i need to go off personal reflections not specifics of how stuff is supposed to be.

Sell your car now while there is still a market, and get a nice daily while you can. You'll thankme in 2 years when you ask yourself why you got into drifting.

Umm I got into drifting bc its fun for me and exciting.. expensive but excited none the less.

Anyways im thinking of:
about 2mm toe
6.5 degree castor
3 degree camber

rear:
0 toe
2 camber

anyone run anything as such?

so you want a full range of adjust ability on stock arms?

interesting..

you get NO adjust-ability out of the stock rear arms... Seriously you are not new to the forums. This should be basic for you. You can't adjust ANYTHING without aftermarket stuff except front toe.

Just get a stock alignment without all this negative camber nonsense and just go drift. Eric Castro does it. I do it. My friends do it. You can do it.

whats an alignment? Eye-lignment ftw.

[Schassis707]

Everything in the front of my car suspension wise is done. Stock s14 in the rear.. Um and s14 arms on s13 subframe have better adjustability than s13 ones.

I don't know what u have tried adjusting but I get pretty good adjustability out of them. Maybe the rear has a higher camber number than I might be able to get. Out of the research I have done those numbers seem to be good for daily driving and sliding..

Mods just close, nobody can give actual experience just criticism

go look in the drift techniques thread in motorsports. you'll find your answer there. There. I spoon-fed you. Happy?

You can adjust s-chassis a decent amount with the stock linkages. Though once you lower the car quite a bit, aftermarket links will be needed.

It should be closed as this information is readily available. Search some of terms yo uspeak of and you'll discover the information. I hate to be such a hard ass fucker, but it's frustrating when we're giving the same advice again and again and again.

You're drifting right? Get all the camber you can get to make it slide easier with least contact path in the rear. Get zero in the front to grip up. Castor run like 8 for autosteer. and toe 0 for even wear.

Since you're in Vacaville, have you heard of lipseys muffler shop in Vallejo? They're pretty awesome, they're a lil pricey but worth it, talk to Larry, they did my 99 prelude a few years back

It's easier to drift with less camber in rear than it is with more.

Did already, And been reading up many pages on the suspension mod thread too... Maybe you and some other people in this thread should read.. apparently it would would actually have stopped all the bickering in the first place, i originally said i want peoples experience and why THEY ran.. read the first post.

Read first post as well i said i want peoples experience.. How do you get peoples experience??? You ask them?

Yes and thats the main reason i need an alignment, isn't it true that higher angles make steering much harder and also less auto correction when letting go of the wheel?

That would be caster, up front which has that effect.

[pinkarrowsnow]

good base drift setup is 3.5-4.5 for front camber. 0.2-0.5 if you make decent power

toe at 0.00 up front a little toe in, in the rear never hurts like 0.2 caster maxed out up front
