    Need alignment specs for Gen 3

    I'm looking for alignment specs for a Gen 3. I have the stock but some people are running a more aggressive street/track alignment. I got one from a 'Vendor' a couple of years ago but can't find it.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I am running -2.5 up front and -1.7 back. First time doing this. It handles the corners better for sure. Not sure how this will affect treadware on the PSS.

    I'm hearing camber between -1.2 and -1.5 Front, -0.5 to -1.0 rear. Front toe 1/16" Rear 1/16 to 1/8". Caster 5.6 front and stock on tear. Taking my car in today and will leave feedback in a few days that's if they will vary from stock. I bought a lifetime alignment from Firestone about 6 years ago. I bet they hate seeing me come back. LOL

    At these settings you vill get more agressive wear. At 1.7 - 2.5 you will get tons of wear but if you are only tracking it I guess that's fine.

    The tech ran out of adjustment at 1.4 in order to keep caster I wanted. Have stripped concentric bolt in rear that needs to be replaced. Dealer doesn't have of course. Almost $65 for bolt, nut and washer. Ridiculous!

    How the hell did it get stripped? Did you look at it?

    Sure did. Don't know. A couple of years ago I had to have Archer Racing replace the front bolts because the a couple of the bolts had stripped out the inside of the washer. They were the last ones to align the car. I'm not saying they did it. Who knows I'm the second owner so it could have happened anytime in the first 10,000 miles. I found three extra bolts so I'll go back and have them replace and finish the alignment.

    I'm more concerned about the fronts running out of adjustment.

    It is very easy to strip the washers, I use a large axle stand and unload the weight on the suspension of the wheel in adjustment. Position the adjustment bolts so the weight of the vehicle is working with you. Remove the stand and make your adjustments.

    At the track, get a tire temperature gauge. Take readings after a run, see what areas of the tire are the hottest and then make alignment adjustments.
