Alignment for autocross

[bnordin]

Now that Chris and I have two autocross events behinds us, I have been told that the 90 Red needs to be alligned specifically for autocross. Somehow I doubt that Joe's Fine Auto Repair will know what that means. I have two questions.

• What is the best set-up for my car?
• Can anyone recommend a good allignment shop in the Keller area?

Thanks,

I'm running Lanny's alignment - LINKIE

I have the lifetime alignment deal from Firestone. The one on Harwood in Hurst will let me supply my own specs.

Thanks for the information but did not get this done before last weeks event. Hopefully by the next event.

I used Icehawks's here:

I used Icehawk's settings for E-stock and liked it. I'm also on the Firestone plan. The shop near me and Mansfield will go with whatever settings I want.

Neither me nor jrj512 daily drive our cars. If you drive your car a lot Lanny's alignment will be easier on the tires.

I use Icehawk's as well. Well, as near as we could get. I usually run with toe-in for daily driving, then adjust to 1/8" toe-out when I change tires and change shock settings for autocross. The guy that aligned my car set the toe-in at about 1/16" and 0 deg thrust angle. He then change the right toe, half a round at a time. He would call out the toe setting to me in the car and I wrote them down. We went out to three full turns, that is more than I will ever need, but I have the notes if I want to try something way out there.

I run something very similar to Icehawk's. I do get alittle inside edge wear on the rear on my street tires, but rotate to the front should gives reasonable even wears.
