has any one got wheel alignment specs for s2 rs4s or any stag. just put $240 tyres on and dont wana scrub them out in a hurry.

any info or links would be appreciated

Front toe = zero

Rear toe = -2mm

Front camber = 1 degree negative

Front caster = as much as I can get, but I know it won't be enough 6deg if poss...lucky to get 5

I will run a little more caster on the left (~0.25 degree) to stop the drift due to road camber.

Rear camber = 0.5 degree negative

My tyres were wearing perfectly evenly on these settings ( had to get the adjustablecamber bushes to acheive it).

ive posted the factory specs a couple of times before, scanned from Jap workshop manual, they are very broad settings, nothing really useful to go off, a good wheel aligner wouldn't even bother looking at them.

x2

but you won't get to 0.5 deg neg on the rears with eccentric bushes on a S2.

Yep I got my settings from SK's posts - although he knows a hell of a lot about RB engines he's actually a suspension specialist and in real life these settings have worked for me on my S1 Stagea.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
