What Caster and toe. do you run?

[blu808]

I was wondering what caster you guys run?

I run 6.5 deg. of caster.
1/16th of an inch toe out in the front. And 0 toe, in the rear.

[S14DriftR]

i use 7.5 degrees positive caster and 1/16 toe in front and 1/16 toe out rear.

[blu808]

7.5 huh. Hows that work for ya?

[thx247]

6.6 caster, no idea how that compares to a S14 though.

[Heartwork]

7.5 degrees caster here also
1/16th toe out front
0 toe in rear

turn in is a lil smoother/edgier

[Johny5]

8 degrees caster front 0 toe both front and rear.

[Dousan_PG]

caster
about 9 degrees (s13 was 8.2-9 depending on which TC rods i used, s14 is around 8 right now, but when get the front mount on..can go 9 again)


TOE
front: out a few mm
rear: in a few mm

0 camber rear
4 camber front

hmm, I see alot of you guys running toe out in front and nuetral in rear, do you like it?. I havent been running on custom specs for very long but I thought slight toe in front would give better grip and stability at higher speed entries, and the slight toe out rear seems to make my viscous a lot more tolerable. But any other opinions would be cool as a rarely find people who have tested different settings and actually know what they are talking about.

toe out front would give slightly more turn in response, but less straightaway response

toe in front would give slightly less turn in response, but more straightaway response

I think what might make more sense is "stability" were I bolded the words.

[S14DriftR]

cool, i may try slightly out or nuetral toe front at my next alignmet. It doesnt feel sloppy at all when you guys run toe out front?

[Var]

i got 8º Caster with .5º toe out in the front(i dont know what that translates to in mm, i think about 12-13mm which is like 1/2 inch) and .08º toe out in the rear.

[meme]

any shops you guys would recomend for aligment. got all the adjustable arms that need to get dialed in. oh shops in S cali please.

hey how bout toe in on the rear, is it better for cornering to have toe in or toe out in the rear.

Toe in on the rear will make a more neutral (predictable ) feeling.

Toe out on the rear will make it step out.

Thanks for the input guys.

I did some reasurch on the s13 and s14. Apparently the s14 comes with more caster than the s13. Soo i guess that the numbers do not relate.

[DavidC]

anyone else hit the front of the wheel well with too much castor at full lock?

[Dousan_PG]

hammer dem wells
problem solved

I ran 8 degrees postive caster on my old S14 with 235/45/17's front and never had any problems, that car didnt have tie rods spacers though.
