alignment settings


here's a little trd prep guide i found in the aw11 faq:


When I purchased my new engine (4AGE) from a guy who used to Race Corolla
GTS he gave me a TRD engine/suspension prep guide for the AW11 MR2. I
believe it is from the old TRD catalog aroud 1990 maybe ?? It gives a brief
history of the MR2 and the 4AGE as well as the 4AGZE.

The Catalog rates the MR2 in the various SCCA classes never giving
it less than an "A" grade this being if all drivers were equal. It has a
vehicle preparation section which lists mods in two phases. The first phase
is titled Street performance. This section says

Phase One: STREET PERFORMANCE

Results: Slight decrease in ride quality, improved handling,
improved brakind 10-15 hp increase.

TRD Springs
TRD Adjustable Swaybars
TRD Low pressure gas strut inserts
TRD Brake pads
TRD Brake line kit (drain and install ford type fluid)
TRD Header and Exhaust System
High Flow Air filter
Recalibrate fuel injection system (See Engine Preparation Section)

Reset alignment:

Camber Front: -1 degree
Camber Rear : -1 "

Caster : +6 "

Toe in Front: 1/16 in.
Toe in rear : 1/8 in.


Phase Two: AUTO CROSS, STREET PERFORMANCE AND ROAD RACE
(Dependent upon class restrictions)

RESULTS: Decrease in ride quality (lowers ride height 1.5-2 in.),
dramatically improved handling, improved braking.

Instead of phase one equipment:

TRD High pressure gas stuts
TRD Springs

Reset Alignment:

Camber Front: -2 degrees
Camber Rear : -1 1/2 degrees

Caster : +6 degrees

Toe in front: 1/16 in. ( 1/8 in. out for auto cross)


Toe in rear : 1/8 in. ( 1/16 in. out for auto cross)


 


Here's the link to the page w/ this info:

nope, i'll look into it though.

edit: its +6 on both, so maybe its not adjustable at that value.

I think you just want as much caster as possible on the mr2 and 6 is usually the max you can get
