stock alignment settings?

[00 scrub]

What are the stock alignment setting for a 2001 Celica GT-S? I tried searching, but I couldn't find the info.

front camber: -0.48 deg +/- 0.75 deg
front toe (total): 0 deg +/- 0.2 deg

rear camber: -1.18 deg +/- 0.75 deg
rear toe (total): 0.3 deg +/- 0.2 deg

thanks NoCones. The rear camber is kind of aggresive isn't it? I thought many of the autocrossers out there used a -1.5 deg camber in the rear?

yeah, most of us are probably around -1.5...I think mine is -1.3 right now.

I think the reasoning is that Toyota would much rather have you understeer than oversteer...much easier to recover from a plow than a wagging tail. In most situations, that "aggressive" rear camber will result in a front end that gives up before the rear (the rear toe-in is a contributer there, too).

Of course, some of us cone dodgers actually think that less rear camber is a better bet:
1. helps heat up the rear tires better
2. gives better initial grip...if you have too much neg camber, you never get the initial grip to allow the suspension to compress and make use of the neg camber...I never understeer in a sweeper type-turn, but in quick transitions, the tail can get wagging...less neg camber might help there.

As for it being "aggressive"...anything less than -2 is not really that outlandish...many will caution you about tire wear, but I wouldn't worry about it.
