Tire Wear
I was going through tires every 8-10 thousand miles too. I had mine realigned and now my rear tires are lasting much longer. I think my autocross times are up a little and I have found the car a little easier to spin. I can still double most freeway cloverleafs.....I do not have the specs on the alignment...I wonder what they are? As far as autocross times, every month we have a different layout on our track, apples to oranges here. I am going by seatofpants meter for this judgement.
thx for the feedback! i'm going to take my car in for an alignment next week. Can i just tell them to adjust according to the factory settings? Thx! john
the recommendations for alignment are independent of springs, so search any alignment thread for your desired application (street, autox, DE, etc).
however, with lowered springs you will automatically make your camber range more severe (e.g. -1.5 instead of -0.5 in front, -2.5 instead of -1.5 in rear) which is good for autox and DE and bad for the street. since you want to run it on the street, my guess is you will have no trouble reducing the camber on the front, but will have trouble reducing the camber on the rear with lowered springs without a camber plate. gl
