I know this is the best place to find u guys so....
Anyways last nite I entered a corner pretty hard with the celi and experienced massive understeer. So my question to u guys is how to get more oversteer.
I was thinking these alignment seetings would be a good start.
Camber
LF-1.5 RF -1.5
LR -1 LF -1
Thurstline=0

Toe
front=0
rear=0

Castor 4-5 (not sure if this is adjustable)

Once again I'm extremely new to the whole suspension scene and any help would be extremely appreciated.


Also I ordered a tanabe rear tie bar 2 months ago thinking this would help and still havent put it on, would any bars help out with this.


Also last question on our ae86 we are currently running trd springs at the back and ground control coilovers at the front with tokico adjustables all around, its our track car for this season, so which setup would be good on it (alignment wise)

For the Celica...

Those settings look good to me, caster is not adjustable, don't worry about it. The best solution to the problem you described is fixed by modifying the big part in the drivers seat. You went into the corner to fast and overloaded the front tires. Next time, set up the corner better. The rear tie bar won't do a lot (IMHO), a rear sway bar will though.

As for the AE86, the rear end isn't adjustable so don't worry about it (unless it is way out of square, then you have 2 choices, tug pull and bang to square it up, or make adjustable lower control arms and panhard bar). I have an adjustable panhard bar on my old Celica, and will do teh lower control arms this summer.

In the front of the Corolla I'd shoot for -2 deg of camber (maybe even -3 if it is a trailer queen), and about 3 deg of caster.

Run a hair (1/8 total) toe out on the front of both cars.

Like Scott said. You need to slow down to go fast. Ever notice most of the really fast drivers look slow, that's because they are.
