Were you really running 2.5* toe in? Excessive.

With ls1 torque I would toe in a little bit and run a bigger/stickier tire so that speed can be increased.

Assuming you are still using s14 se's as in the picture...

I do toe out in front and toe in in rear... I dont know why so many people do zero toe all around.

ZX88 · 05-03-2011, 04:22 PM

front camber; -3.5
Front toe 0
Front caster: stock

Rear Camber: -2
rear toe 0

Toe out up front I like for the turn in and steering it give me when I'm doing da driftings.

Zero toe in rear allows frees up a little traction when compared to running toe. So it helps the lesser horsepower cars out. But as I said, it doesn't do much for increasing speed/stability.

Yep, stock KA with that much toe = pedal to the floor/top of 3rd/nice sustainable and controlable angle

But that's just me

Hey guys my caster on the drivers side front is like closer to the door than the other side.

Cant make uturns without hitting wheel well (turning left)

and when i pull tire hits my side skirt.

is adjusting the caster possible on oem tension rods?

naw_speed · 05-07-2011, 05:46 PM

naw_speed · 05-07-2011, 06:07 PM

Front camber should be set at whatever yields the most contact patch at lock.

Rear camber depends on setup as well. I have found that rear camber on a car can actually increase grip when the body rolls.

Caster is drivers preference.

Rear toe depends on power/tire setup.

Zar how much power were you putting down with this set up?

Krimlin, how easier was it to drive/drift with your setup?

Couped_up'd · 12-31-2011, 10:28 AM
