Run Flat Alignment Specs Steet/track

[steve911]

I know, I know, before you blow this post off please read it. I have to replace a tie rod end becasue of a clunk and I am putting on new tires.

Seeing the front end is going to have to be realigned, I SEARCHED the forum archives and could not come with street/track alignment suggestions for a Gen 3 car with run flats. Everything I found delalt with PS2's.

Please help a poor guy out with suggestions for my alignment guy.

thanks

I would suggest calling Jon Archer who has a ton of experience in this area.

There's nothing so different about a run-flat that would lead to a radically different approach to aligning the car.

I'd suggest, Front:
Camber: -2.0 (which is about max you can get at stock ride height)
Caster: max you can get at that camber, probably ~5 degrees
Toe: 0

Rear:
Camber: -1.5
Toe: 1/8" in

But I'd suggest the same thing on PS2s or Hoosiers. Run flats are still just tires, maybe heavier and stiffer than most other tires, but there's nothing special about them that requires oddball alignment.
