Street/Track Alignment Set Up
What is a good balance for camber and total toe, ft. and back, for street and track use. I track my car 4+ times a year. I also have camber plates up front. I have read about -2.5 camber and 0 toe ft. and about -1.5 camber and about 1/8" toe in rear. Just wondering what anyone is using.
Update: Was on the track. Front -2.5 camber 1/8 Toe Out Rear -1.5 camber and 1/8 toe in. Car handled well no complaints. However I was on the track the an Elantra N that car passed me and I never caught it. I talked to the guy and he told me it was stock and yes that car is awesome. He has tracked M2s as well as other vehicles and he told me his favorite so far was the N.

Hey there, I put ohlins (dont know how the spring rates compare to stock bc i never could find the oem values published, but rear spring rate is like double the front) on my car and the millway street camber plates. I think the answer might depend on your suspension/tire setup. I still have the stock non zhp 30 mil stagger. Yours sounds like a good alignment spec, im at a slightly more conservative -2 front camber, -1.5 rear. Havent driven at the limit yet but feels like there will still be some understeer til i go for square tires.

However, an Elantra N passed me and I never caught it. Didn't know that car was that fast. I talked to the guy and he told me it was stock and yes that car is awesome. He has tracked M2s as well as other vehicles and he told me his favorite so far was the N. Something I'm considering.

255/35/19 Yokos Advan Apex I like the Yokos, they are a great street tire as well as track. They are very close to the Michs for street use. I tried Kumhos PS91 and they were garbage, very noisy and not round with a rough ride.
