Evo X upgrades

[mlomker]

I have an appointment for Wed at Stellar Autoworks for corner balance, alignment, and Road Force balance on the tires. I went to their open house the other day...the owners seem nice.

I'm debating between -2/-1 and -2.5/-1.5 on the alignment. I'm leaning toward the former since I care more about road course than auto-x. I have a little time to ponder it.

Depending on the tire pressures and how aggressive you drive will determine the "correct" number for car camber settings. The type of racing does not really matter for camber, the goal is even tire wear depending on how agressive a driver you are. No one wants to throw away a set of tires prematurely. I would focus on the rear toe and caster setting as this will determine how fast the car rotates. What are some of the track guys telling you?

Not really. The car is no fun in stop-n-go and I won't drive it in the Winter, other than to a shop.

There isn't much agreement on the alignment threads other than a difference of 1 front to back. CBRD runs -1.8 and -1.

I'm surprised that you run -2.5 considering your long commute. Most people say that it'll wear the tires.

I showed you my tires, they have nice even tire wear @ 7000 miles most of that a 80 mile a day commute. Id say dont listen to all the interweb hype 2.5 is fine.
