[Gavin]

Searched this site for any information regarding the appropriate wheel alighment setup for the track but no luck
I'm looking for something fairly agressive
Thanks

Camber the hell out of it.

Chuck - I knew I could count on you!!
Now how about cutting loose with toe in numbers - same for camber

Andy is right with his #s as far as a street/track setting, removing the sport shims will give you another -1 degree of camber up front. I never bothered with them.

Front caster:
left 5.84 right 5.99

camber
left -1.9 right -1.9

toe neutral

Rear camber
left -1.4 right -1.4

toe left 0.11 right 0.10

Viperless (for now)

Here's what I've been running. Recommended by a fast tracker from Texas. You can't street with an alignment like this, unless you have some flatspotters you don't care about (which I tend to have plenty of). Take one look at the camber from the front of the car and you'll see why.

camber at -2.2 to -2.5 front, -2.0 at the rear. Caster at stock settings - Toe - 1/8" out up front, 1/4" in at the back (total.)

I went with the low end on the camber settings but I'm thinking of going with more. But I'm just some guy having some fun. The VRL guys would be the ones to tap for this info.

These are not the agressive settings you were looking for, rather some numbers for comparison. These were recommended to me by Bill P as about the most you could go on the street.

Front Camber: -1.5 degrees
Rear Camber: -1.1 degrees
Front Caster: 6 degrees
Front Toe: 0
Rear Toe: 1/8 in
Front Pressure: 34 psig
Rear Pressure: 30 psig

I can tell you from experience the above #s are about as aggressive as you can get and still drive on the street, but Chuck's right if you want the most aggressive you can get it's his #sn but it'll be a ****** on the street.
