CT5-V Blackwing Suspension Tuning - Options, Specs, Reviews

CT5-V Model
Toe is all in spec, .1 all around from my alignment. The camber up front made the car incredible in the turns , first year I went i have understeer issues with 1.5 in the front. Went last year and 2.3 gave way more grip in the turns but then the rear end felt loose. Now the car feels incredible, I just want more of it lol.
I'm probably going to drop into Washington State from Oliver, BC (below Calgary where Area27.ca has a track with Blackwings - never been there) Big windies and swoops in the Rockies and Tetons ahead. Is there a bone stock CT5-V alignment you could suggest as if you were doing the Tail of the Dragon all stock? Thanks.
Your white Blackwing is looking terrific!

Thanks !

Bone stock I'd have the track alignment setup for canyon runs. It will help keep understeer down, have the rear camber as much as you can as well. With rear factory arms and toe bar you should be able to get 1.25-1.5 camber. If you wanna keep your tires from wearing afterwards I'd align it back to street spec when you get home ( 1.5 front 1 rear )
 
Depending on how comfortable you are with the car I'd run in PTM Sport , otherwise I'd run in Race 1. I tried Race 2 last year before I did my rear suspension build and Race 2 felt like the rear wanted to step out to much.

Ok great, that helps! Looking forward to PTM Sport. I'll start out with Sport 1, PTM Dry, Wet if it rains or, Touring. I will definitely try Race 1 when I get a better feel or some track time. Thanks again 👋

Have fun man ! Pace yourself , the car is easy to over drive since it brakes and accelerates very fast ! Take your time getting used to it, you won't regret it !
