Taking a trip from South Florida to the Atlanta area. I want to cruise some mountain roads and maybe some brisk driving if traffic is light. I've lowered my car about 1.5 in all around but never changed my alignment specs (actually never got it aligned after my drop as it still tracks straight) after it was lowered. I'm thinking of getting some camber dialed in but not sure how much. I'm thinking a little more camber won't kill my front tires. What do you guys recommend?

When you lower a 4th gen, you'll get some toe out. That can cause accelerated tire wear (if it's a signifigant change). My 4th gen tracked straight too, but I found an alignment to be a good idea.
I ran -1.2 camber, 4.5 castor and 1/32" of toe out on the street. I got 30k out of front tires with that setting. Anything from -.7 to -1.2 degrees of camber would be my target (make both sides match). Roughly 4.5 castor and 0 toe. |
