    Default What a difference!

    Finally got the Shinsen aligned according 949 specs for an E-street setup. With that giant RB bar the car used to push like a bulldozer! So much more balanced now. Anyway, Baker did a nice job. Just got to figure out why the rear toe didn't turn out right.

    949's alignments use about 0.5 degrees more negative camber on the front to balance the car with the big bar. If you're still pushing, a bit more up front ought to do.

    That is what they suggest but no one outside that shop has been able to get 1.5 on stock suspension. I'm also wondering if zero toe would be better for autocross.

    For AutoX I think you want to reduce caster to 3° at the most, yeah?
