track alignment spec

hey all

im heading out to wakefield again and was just wondering what ur thoughts on wheel alignment specs

last time i had fronts 1.5 degree negative camber and 1mm total toe out
and rears 1 degree negative camber and 0 toe, and the handling felt pretty neutral, maybe just abit understeering and turning is abit unresponsive

i have now added a rear sway bar and sp20 strut brace. tyres are the same 195s hankook rs3s

i was going to go for more front camber and abit more front toe out. would this make the back more twitchy since i have that rear sway bar? would abit of rear toe out help with rear traction?

thanks

why so much toe out on the fronts?

rears would be good as is.

i didnt think 1mm toe out was alot. from what i read toe out improves turn in response and might help abit with understeer

0.5 total toe up front and 1mm total toe rear, stiffer rear sway bar will reduce understeer.
