Hopefully I'll button up my cobra control arms tonight and then drive it to get teh tires installed and an alignment tomorrow...

So what should I get it aligned to? I was thinking aiming for 4.5' of Caster and -1 to -1.5' of camber and 0-.5% of toe.

Thoughts?

5.5 deg pos caster
1.0 deg neg camber
0 toe or slight toe in

Click to expand...

max caster is not always a good idea due to the fact that it can affect bump travel while turning.

i run mine close to min caster, going no further than mid plate.

i don't use standard measurements when doing alignments so i usually have mine set at -2 minutes of toe

Well I had it set to 4.3' castor, -1.2 camber and it is great... does't carve the corners as much as it was before (not sure what those settings were) but there is almost no bump steer or trammeling anymore...

i know this is an old thread but I didn't feel like starting a new one... I had my car aligned awhile ago and was wondering how these settings looked.

left
-1.39 camber

3.55 caster

.11 toe

right
-1.19 camber

2.89 caster

.11 toe

I'm running the ford c-springs which lowered my car about 1.25-1.5 inches... they didnt say anything about having a problem aligning it. Are these settings good or should I go with something more aggressive?
