Just got back from the shop after a looong session of corner balancing and alignment. We tried a number of different setups and this is what we ended up with as a baseline for this weekend's autox:
LF : 833lbs RF : 812lbs
LR : 419lbs RR : 370lbs
LF/RR cross : 49.4%
RF/LR cross : 50.4%
Front : 67.5%
Rear : 32.5%
Total weight including driver : 2434lbs
Alignment:
LF:
Camber -0.5
Caster 2.2
RF:
Camber -0.9
Caster 2.8
LR:
Camber -1.2
RR:
Camber -1.2
Total Front Toe: -1/16"
Total Rear Toe: -1/8"
I know the numbers aren't ideal, but we were trying to find a compromise with setups. I originally wanted more toe out in the front but was advised to start at -1/16" and work out from there to get used to running toe out (previously I had run toe in).
How do you guys think this looks so far? I never knew my NX was so front heavy! After this event I think we're gonna strap the car up again and see if any improvements can be made. Opinions? Suggestions? TIA
