Those statements are not conflicting, they in agreement. Let's say max camber with the "OEM" arms is -1.6 degrees and least possible camber is -.09 degrees. -1.6 is your moderate track alignment and -0.9 is your street alignment. Install the V8V arm and that range shifts by -0.4 degrees, so...

Yes, of course. I stated the specs I was told to use for my 4BW. I've never said what specs you should be using for your 5BW. I have only addressed the concept of toe in versus toe out, which doesn't change based on the model or make of a car. I enjoy the learning, so bring more info to the...

Correct, it's not black and white. It seems to come back to what is your goal, improved tire life or improved handling characteristics? According to your video if the goal is tire life, one would use toe in, but if improved handling is the goal, one would use toe out. Could you please be more...

I'm not an expert, I'm learning as I'm going through this. And yeah, there's a lot of conflicting info out there. I watched your videos. In "What is Camber? A Simple Explanation" it says most vehicles use positive camber, but racing/off road applications use negative camber. We're dealing...

Granted, I know these AI generated answers are often wrong, so my second reference point is John Heinricy. He was a GM engineer in the Performance Division for 40 years and life long race driver. He presently runs a CT4-V BW in the SCCA Touring 2 class. I've been speaking with him and he's...

Well, here's one reference point:

Front toe should be out, NOT in!

The toe link that comes in the trunk allows for more camber than the "OEM" part. Needed for those that are tracking their cars. With the Precision Package toe link installed, you can't get to a basic alignment for regular street driving. The "OEM" one gives you a range between a regular...

Well, I thought I found something significant, but now I'm not sure. Could I get some more eyes on this to make sure I'm reading the alignment report correctly? All the numbers look good for camber, but isn't the little diagram showing the wheel leaning in the wrong direction? It's showing...

If there're bonus points for IMSA or Mondrian/Impact versions, seems like your willing to pay more for CF 1 & 2 and other things. Dig a little deeper and grab a 1 of 50 Petite Pataud editions. With a new purchase you also get the 2 day track driving school at Spring Mountain.

That's an aggressive alignment for the street and is the reason for the inside wear. You should be around -1.0 in the front. The purpose of the SPC camber bolts is to allow for more camber than the OEM setup allows. They aren't used to lessen camber. Go do a track day to even out the wear. :)

Got the rear end back in Notice the SPL Toe Links? It also received Refined Performance Sway Bar and Swift Spec "R" springs when going back in. Front also received the new sway bar, springs and camber plates.

Add the PDR and HUD :)
