Alignment for max tire life

[Fatal Lightning]

Hi guys,

I have searched and read just about every thread and thought I would finally just ask since I am having difficulty coming to a conclusion:

What is the consensus on running the 93 spec, but with a lower (2mm 1mm or even 0) toe?

1.) I have 18/19 wheels with KWV3's

2.) The 93 Spec:

Front Total Toe: -3.5mm +/- 1mm
Front Camber: -20 min +/- 30min (-0.33 deg +/- 0.5 deg)
Front Caster: 8 deg
Rear Total Toe: 3mm +/- 1mm
Rear Camber: -1 deg 30 min +/- 30min (-1.5 deg +/- 0.5 deg)

Did you read the Wiki?

I recommend the 93 spec to give you better tire life.

Reducing the rear toe to 0 adds "slop" to the rear making it looser and less stable during cornering. Your car will have more of a tendency to snap oversteer the more you remove the rear toe. I lost my first NSX to this mistake, I wouldn't recommend doing it as any cost savings in tires was immediately lost in that accident. I now run the 1991-1992 spec just because of this.

Thanks so much for that!

I seriously appreciate it as I was going to do it.
