Title: Wheel Inlignment & Tracking
Post by: James H on January 17, 2011, 02:49:46 PM
Ok so on my FC I am running coilovers all round (fronts have camber adjustment) on 18" wheels all round with 25mm spacers up front & 30m spacers on the rear, ride height is pretty low but not stupid also running with a set of rear dtss eliminators. So think after all these mods I should go visit the garage to get my inlignmet & tracking looked at.... my question is kind adjustment can I expect, if any?? If any has anyone got so decent tried & tested angles (looking for more of a drift set up) to get set up once I get her in to have the work done, much thanks??

Well if you want to reduce all you\'re rear camber its going to be a ball ache. Im not sure exactly what needs to be done but you\'ll need a camber bar and rear camber links, But you can\'t use the rear links with certain bushes, some people machine they\'re subframe for this mod. Look it up on rx7 club, loads of posts

Can probably get a fair bit of camber on the front if yo have top mounts. Additionally if you"re drifting it and want an alignment to go with it, you should probably fit some lock spacers first as you\'ll need a re alignment after they\'re fitted.

No idea on caster

Cheers bud this is a help, not really fussed about the rear camber. So all I can really ask for is a stock inlignment front & back, i\'ll do the camber on the front myself.

ah right. If you\'re just talking about toe then There shouldn\'t be a problem, you need need to run lots of toe in or out on a drift car. There should be plenty of adjustment on the stock components.

TBH theres only so much that alignent will help with 230 bhp in an FC. All that rear camber will probably help you spins the wheels up anyhu!
