Wheel alignment question

[JerryD]

I'm going to new tires and alignment today. Any recommendations on alignment setting? Thank :o

I don't know the answer myself but there are many posts out there with specs. Have you checked out the FAQ's? http://www.ffcars.com/FAQ/frontend.html It would help others if you indicate what are you aligning, how you plan to drive it and if you have power steering. For example: Manual steering, roadster, street driving. hth Bill

For the street, I like about 0.25* of camber, 3* caster, and 1/32" toe IN. That works really well in my car. If you have power steering, you could use more caster, like 5-6*.

Jerry, to Bob's comment, we need to know more about the car, power steering or manual, MKIV with the SAI mod, or earlier with stock geometry? Some of the Spec racer guys I hear are playing with as much as 9 degrees of caster now with the frame mods for improved SAI.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I think I jumped the gun a bit when I started this thread. Soon after writing the forum I talked to one of the local ****** Club members and he recommended a local alignment shop that has a great deal of experience with our roadsters. Well I took my roadster to them and they did what seems to be an excellent job. All is well that ends well. Thanks again for you help. Jerry
