wheel alignment questions for a drift setup

Dorimx5 · Postby **Dorimx5** » Sat Apr 30, 2011 12:01 pm

hey there ive recently installed coilovers in my Na mx5 now im thinking its time for a wheel alignment basically i want to know what would be a good spec for front and rear for a drift setup? also would the wheel alignment specs be good for street? would it be economical? (tyres,fuel consumption) also are there any other suspension mods i should purchase before getting a proper wheel alignment done? anything to adjust some camber out of the rear? i just want to make the most of the alignment.

thanks

Firstly, not many here will help you, and you really need to go and search roadsterdrift.com

You want about 1 degree camber on the rear, 2 on front, as much caster as possible with that camber setting, 10mm toe out a side on the front and from 0-5mm a side on the rear as a good starting point. Based on your noob-ness you will find the car quite difficult to control at these settings, the car will tram rail, as well as slide on its own in the wet whenever your not careful. seriously, good luck.

Also obviously fit a proper lsd.

40psi front and rear.

Your obviously a noob with mx5s because EVERYTHING is completely adjustable standard.

You can get adjustable front and rear top arms to help get the exact camber ur after. Also a LSD is a must if u want to be able to control ur slides. Better brake pads in the front and rear will benefit u also. I use to have a play around sliding mine, any power gain is a benefit might be worth looking into a supercharged setup? Good luck with it
