Gen II base alignment

[tbtapper]

I'm new to ITs. Have what appears to be a nice GII RX7. I need recommendations for a basic alignment set up.

Interested in Toe, camber and any wedge folks have found to be beneficial.

Thanks

I'm not an expert, so take this with a grain of salt.
Camber will depend on your tires, and perhaps on your springs and sway bar. Measure tire temps with a probe pyrometer to set the camber properly. Inside ~15 deg hotter than outside is about right. I'm using Hoosier R3S04s, and am currently at -3.0 degrees front and -2.0 degrees rear. Still measuring to find out where I'm at. Inflation is correct when the center temperature is the average of the inner and outer.
Front toe - from 0 to 1/8" toe out.
Rear toe - ~3/16" toe in.

Depends on tires, track, etc. But with the old 03 Hoosiers...

-2.0* negative camber in front
-All the caster you can get while maintaining the same amount on each side
-1/8" toe out

-1.5* negative camber in rear
-0 toe

Thanks for the replys. Car came with a couple of sets of Goodyears. No idea the no. of heat cycles or sessions.

I figure I'll run the casings off the Goodyears getting to know the car and various tracks.

Once I'm not a "liability" on the tracks I'll probably go with the Hoosiers and get serious with alignment and set up.

Don't have a pyro yet just looking for a baseline set up to begin with.
