Hey Drew,

Ive been following you through on your blog and much respect to your work but i personally need some help here.

Ive just got some TE37 Superlaps 18×9 ET45 and Yokos A050 265-35-18

I plan to daily drive but track at the same time my V9 STI Hawkeye. Please recommend me on camber and toe adjustments.

btw when u track do u usually leave DCCD to auto or what do you recommend here again?

thanks in advance!

If you’re doing STU remember 245 is the limit for tire size.

i would do a 14.25 front 14 rear ride height.

I’d dial back the rear camber a little to -1.7 or so.

Front camber looks good for autox/track days maybe a little less depending on the course lay outs.

do you plan on having a street alignment and a track/autox alignment (only difference being the front camber plates slammed in for autox)?

Drew,
I am back with some mroe Q’s. Just as a refresher, u were helping me fit 275 kumho’s on some 5zigen hot version’s under my subie.

That being said, due to financial cionstraints, and my desire to get more than 1 season on a set of tires, I have decided to stay on street tires for now.

I am looking to get some 255/40/r17 dunlop star specs mounted on my 17×9 5zigens +43 if I remember correctly. On my t2′s, I should have no rubbing issues with that setup, correct?

I have adjustable plates front and rear and Am considering 14″f & 14.25″r ride hieght along with a -3 camber in front and a -2 in rear with a possible toe adjustment front. Any recommendations/considerations? Car is not my daily driver. OH, almost forgot, I swapped out springs on my t2′s to a 550 front spring and a 500 rear. Gonna give that a try.

As usual, any help u can give in the way of recommendations/suggestions/confirmations of my thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
