Wheel alignment specs for NA8 on 15\" rims!

Postby Li7hium » Fri May 18, 2007 8:33 pm

Hey guys,

I'm pretty sure this was covered in the archives, but we don't have access to them. I'm also sure someone said this was on the big forum, miata.net, but I can't find a search function.

Getting an alignment done tomorrow morning in preparation for the Supersprint on Sunday.

Does anyone have or know where a good set of 'track' alignment specs are for NA8 on 15\" rims?

Thanks!

Matt

This is my latest for 15x6.5 on a Tein-sprung NA8 running street tyres for road and track. It's the best compromise I've found so far - courtesy of Glen at Centreline, Thomastown - but it is definitely a compromise.

Front
Camber -2 1/2
Castor +4 1/2
Toe zero (go to some toe out for better turn-in at expense of tyre life)

Rear
Camber -2
Toe 1mm IN
