alignment

What is the best alignment for a TTS .2 that won't cause premature tire wire? Street driven car.

Hi Speedsterr,


Can you share where your tires are wearing? I would guess on the inside on the rears. I noticed the same situation on my stock setup. If you wanted less inner tire wear, choose a less negative chamber setup for the rear.


I believe that the stock setup is -1 on chamber with a -0.15 on the toe for the rear and -1 chamber and 0.0 for toe up front.


You will lose some handling characteristics with this type of setup.


For example, I run a - 2.5ish +0.15ish toe for the rear and a -3.3ish +0.02 toe for the front. This is aggressive but, car handles well and maintains even tire wear at the track.


With all of this being stated, It really depends on your driving style and your true intentions with your cars use..

I have stock alignment. I just wanted to have this car have better steering and handling similar to the newer cars. But I don't want to have increased tire wear. So I wanted to find out what is the spec I need to get better steering/handling, but no change to my tire wear.
