Want some new struts? What brand springs to buy? How much camber to run? What brake pads? What's the best setup for your situation....

corner balance and alignment

Post by Alxsmt »

there ya have it. the weight is with me and 3/4 of a tank of gas. Its close enough considering I usually race with more gas (it will cut out from no fuel) and have a passenger half the time.

its pretty much with in ~50lbs of being perfect. 60/40

intercomp scales and smart strings alignment setup

-1.5* camber up front
rear was -1* If I remember right, and you cant adjust it so I didnt check it this time
toe is 0
caster was +5 last I had it checked with the subframe pushed forward as far as it goes

Mine figured about 2700 without me in it...so you're a little lighter than that unless you're super skinny. haha

The scales I used were at the dragstrip, NO idea how accurate they are. I have access to one of these Longacre setups though so I could do this on mine and see more accurate numbers.

this was with me in it, cannot remember the particulars, but I was around 140-150ish lbs *cough* then...full interior (relatively speaking) I do not have AC, but have hardware, speakers and a boombox....connected sway bar and pic was taken before tuning...lost the pics for the tuned suspension. I believe this was somewhere in the fall of '06.

Currently standing I think the car will be around 30XX/31XX lbs (min/max) with me in it...

nice, our cars are pretty close to the same weight then. I was thinking mine was a freak light model. I have no ac related components

do you mean like this? :-)
no front swaybar
600lbs springs all around with adjustable perches
1" addco rear
camber plates
koni yellows

I only took took it as close as I did because with more gas, and a passenger it changes everything. kinda picked an in the middle balance
