Re: Alignment specs with a Quaife?



Well, the point Tony made about the car getting squirrelly under power was
right on form my experience.  Before I had it reset, the car was very darty
and pulled from side to side a lot under power.  Now that it's set at 0" toe
and -2 deg. camber it's much more stable.  My car's a 16V with a race DP and
no sway bars(yet), so I'm sure those two factors limit it's stability when
I'm on the power.  Plus this thing isn't a fully committed Auto-x car yet.
I still drive it on the street.  After I get the suspension a little better
sorted, I may try to go with more toe out.

What kind of power does you car with the Quaife put out Ian?
