This is my first post in this forum, but I know often when people ask questions like I am about to, the main responses are "use the search function". I have searched and read many posts about alignment on this forum and other places. However, I still have some questions and am hoping some people with much more experience than me can help me out.
Here's some background. I have a 24 GT PP with MagneRide, and I've added several Steeda suspension components including front camber plates. The full list is included under my vehicle profile. I am new to tracking my car, and I have only taken my car to The FIRM in Starke, Florida. That is where I plan to track my car 90% of the time. Jamie with Steeda in Valdosta, GA did my alignment a couple months back after my first track day, a copy of which I have attached. He did say he didn't set the specs too aggressive since I would also be driving my car on the street. I have since purchased the Longacre digital caster camber gauge kit to enable me to adjust the alignment from track to street use. I don't daily drive my car, but I do put a few thousand miles a year on it just driving around, so I don't want to run an aggressive track alignment on the street.
My question concerns what the ideal alignment for my setup would be for running at The FIRM. The front camber is no big deal to adjust since I have the camber plates, but I don't have any camber arm installed in the rear. I know camber in the rear can be adjusted from the factory, but I understand it is a real pain to do and is limited to round -2.0. The second part of my question is whether I should add rear camber arms, and if so, what are people's recommendations for brands? I've looked at Steeda (which seems to be the most expensive), MMR and AAD. I like the AAD design because it looks like it would be easiest to switch between track and street specs once I got everything dialed in.
I look forward to hanging out in the forums, and I appreciate any input you who are more experienced can provide.
