Is our suspension setup correctly by aftermarket strut MFR's? Is the bias correct?

So essentially best bet it get as close to even as possible? So 10-11k fronts and same for the rear

I'm going with 11k front and rear when I get my coilovers, which should be soon

... more testing and weight work at SCR today and we nut and bolted for the track. We also installed these trick camber bolts designed right here in Ft. Collins, Colorado. I was able to take the camber to -4 degrees with them in the full clocked position. With aftermarket camber plates and OEM bolts maxed the largest camber I could achieve was a little over -2.5 degrees with the pilot bearings and bolts maxed. $28 for and additional -1.5 degrees of camber worked out great!



Fifth and final trip to the alignment rack and scales...



Here's my final alignment spec's for race day with this tire compared to my initial settings from a month ago.



Fronts:

+4.5 Caster
-3.0 Camber
0 Toe
+1.0" Track width

Rear:

-2.15 Camber
0 Toe
0 Thrust
+1.0" Track width

Wheelbase increase .5"

Corner weights are biased approximately 58/42 front to rear, 50/50 left to right, and 50/50 on the diagnals.

FYI, those bolts are pretty trick for camber increase for you aftermarket guys looking to score more camber when you don't have a camber adjustment shouder like OEM shocks use.

For an idea of where I'm at on weight... approx 3500lbs with me in it and a fulll tank of gas with a full interior.

Another cage is in the works .

Eibach sells that exact part (the camber bolt). I have ran them for years with my n/a and turbo.

What are your alignment settings?

[J. Fast]

3374lbs empty... 3560lbs with me in it.

I have a bunch of those bolts, I would have given you mine. They'll turn on ya while on track and slip.

Why did you blank out your secondary specs? Looks like Pete did the alignment, tell us what's up.

Making a 2nd cage? Should have cage this car to begin with! LOL Details? What about the race car? No more street car for you then?

[vroom4]

Any ideas how I would go about getting some 'crash bolts' made for a different platform? My mazdaspeed3 needs them horribly and mazdaspeed motorsports basically said im SOL.

So J, how much total are you into for your suspension at this point?

The bolts are good, they have a lockout tab and shouldn't rotate but we'll see on Friday. I like thw idea because the don't impact the front swing arm and roll center position as dramatically as shifting the camber plates. The adjustment is clser to the hub so the roll angle stays closer to the ground. I covered up the lower geometry as I think thats a service that should be paid for as It gives up the ghost on my setup. This will be racecar #2. Gave you the skInny over the phone....
