Thread: alignment question

  1. #1

    Default alignment question

    alright. well i have a 97 NA with Eibach springs only, but i hate the understeer that the car has while im cornering. what would be a good alignment for someone about 200 pounds for a SLIGHT amount of oversteer. i can much easier control the back of my car instead of having the bitch go straight lol.

    i know this is my 2nd thread, but i figured more people look in here than where i put the origional one.

    Opposite of desired effect.

    Look up the alignment page on Miatanet for some good suggestions. There are a lot of ways to reduce understeer including less toe in on either end of the car, larger rear swaybar, more tire pressure in the rear tires, the list goes on and on. The general rule of thumb is to stiffen the end that is sticking too much,,..after you are certain the alignment is good.

    well the car drives straight. i did realize that the driver side rear swaybar endlink isnt there. so i went to TDR and got another one. yet i havent put it on yet.

    now my buddy AJ let me borrow his 92 and the alignment was shit on it, and the rear tires had a lot of toe in, but i loved the way that it drove because it would just take a turn without trying to shoot me straight
