Wheel Alignment advice for track day

[namwens]

Hi guys

firstly, i've got an JDM evo 8 MR, with a whiteline adjustable rear swaybar and tein super street coilovers. i'll still be using street tyres.

I'm going to my first track (circuit) event in a few weeks and im trying to sort out what sort of alignment settings i should be using. Im only new to awd cars so im not quite sure how and what they will respond to best. i'll still be using street tyres.

at this stage im not too worried about tyre wear on a daily basis cause im going to be getting my alignment set more conservatively after the track day.

So what settings would people suggest?

i was thinking something along these lines

front camber -2 degrees
front toe IN total 1mm
rear camber -2.5 degrees
rear toe IN 1mm total

i don't have castor adjustment so thats not possible.

Rear camber - 2,5???

That is waaay too much : probably around -2 front and -1,5 back.

Agreed. You could even go less in the rear if you wanted; anything in the -1 to -1.5 range.

Just zero out the toe... Any minimal advantages are usually outweighted by increased tire wear.

Ranges:

-2 to -2.5 front
-1 to -1.5 (-2 maybe) rear

Get rid of the toe, it'll absolutely destroy your tires and in any case toe OUT would be preferred.

Robi recommended -2.8 front, -1.4 rear, and zero toe to me.

ok guys, sounds like a pretty standard message coming from everyone. thank for the inputs.

0 on toe front and rear, and what was posted on the fronts is perfect 2-2.5 and 1.5 rear..if you have ability more positive caster. but I don't think you have what is needed for that.
