Brian,
Here is what a fellow lister recently set their car up with. I believe
that he has custom front springs and comp rears on 15" Panas with the
Azenzis. It worked great from all the accounts.
Cheers,
Daniel @ NOWROC

I finally accepted my lack of front-end alignment skills and decided to
have
some professionals do it. I took the roadster today to Custom Alignment
of
Mountain View, CA and boy did they do a superb job. I tried to dial in
negative camber myself, using with shims. I found out that I acheived
only
-.42 on the right and -1.2 on the left! The car pulled to the right,
especially under hard braking. Caster wasn't nearly within each other.
It
was -.20 on the right and +1.20 on the left. Yikes! Toe was also a
nightmare. -0.19 right and -0.12 left. Not to mention a loose steering
wheel and some awkward turn in at high speeds.
Custom Alignment setup the car according to my weight! Specs l/r:
-1.5/-1.6
camber, caster +1.10/+1.20, and toe +0.03/+0.02. And the car handles
great.
Steering is firm and no more spookiness on turns.
I would highly recommed these guys if you have no idea about alignment
and
want it done right. They specialize in track setups, lowered vehicles.
While
I was there, three Shelby Cobras were on the racks, a 911 Turbo GT2 was
waiting and an NSX was being lifted. ALso saw a Viper ACR and 2 GT350s
in
the lot. Those Cobras are really nice. But mine gets better gas
mileage!
Peace. Alvin
