alignment specs

[lnirenberg]

I am in the final stages of rebuilding my steering (power) with new CPP 500 box. I just ordered their steering linkage kit and Global West steering linkage to go along with their upper and lower control arms. I want the car to track straight but it will also see some autocross. Radial tires on 17" wheels. Specs anyone?

-1.5 front camber, 1/16th tow out, +7.5 caster. Should be a good starting point for the Global West arms. This is a compromise Street/Track setting. Could also go 0 on toe.

Thanks for the info.

Toe out or toe in? Generally use toe in for better high speed stability. Autocross guys use toe out for better turn in but they are slower speed events.

Mike, That seems like a large amount of caster. Is it possible that is the spindle inclination spec? Could it be 0.75 caster?

That's a road race/slalom number that I got from my slalom racing friend. He said Global West arms should be easy to get there. It's also a compromise for street use also.
