I finally finished rebuilding the suspension on my 144K mile '02. New Bilstein HD shocks, ROW sport pkg springs, trailing arms, control arms, drop links, shock mounts and bearings, sway bar bushings, and tie-rod ends installed in the car. I drove the car around the block last night, and it is so strange not to have constant noise coming from the car (clunking, squeaking, and banging). I thought the convertible top frame really rattled a lot, but no noise now! It must have been the rear top shock mounts.
My plan is to do a few track days a year, but the car will mostly see street duty. I'd like a somewhat more aggressive alignment than stock, but nothing
too aggressive; no darty behavior or tramlining for me, thanks very much!
Do any of you that track your cars occasionally have a set of alignment specs you've found to work for both track days and street driving? I realize that you can't have the best of both worlds, that anything will be a compromise. My guess is that more front camber, and perhaps slightly less toe-in will be the way to go.
If you have any proven specs, please share!
