16V alignment specs for racing?
What are you dudes running and how you like the set-up?
I'm dialed in at 45 psi front and 36 rear for tire pressures and -1 degree neg camber up front....I have no Quaiffe but wish I did. Interested in what you run and if its successful on the track or auto-x. TIA

Successful? Well, at an autocross the car is a handful b/c the tires don't get hot and with all the camber and the suspension setup, it likes to hang the tail out. On the track, well - 5th in MARRS points last season should say something...

I'm currently set at -4 degrees camber with 1/8" toe out in front, rear at -1.5 camber, 0 toe - I prefer -2.5 camber in the front but took a hit at the Glen and never got around to fixing the right side so we just adjusted the left to match. Tire pressures for Toyo Proxes RA1s - 34F, 31R.

I was surprised to garner a 5th place spot considering that I missed 2-3 races during the season due to various other committments (like work). My typical competition are 1st gen RX7s, 16v Sciroccos, Honda CRXs, 1st gen MR2s and 240SXs. The dominiant cars have been the CRX, an ancient RX3 and the 240SX - hopefully a fresh engine will make me faster...

That's the Golf's alignment specs - the 16v Scirocco is my commuter and weekend warrior (autocross) car so the alignment specs are more tame - -.5 degrees camber and 0 toe in front, whatever was stock in the rear. Since I log about 15k miles/yr commuting - anything more aggressive would simply wear the tires out too fast
