[Tigers] Allignment Specs??

[MWood24020 at aol.com]

Given the Tiger's poor camber curve, I wouldn't run anything less than  
-1.5 static camber if any type of "spirited" driving is part of intended  use, 
particularly with stock to moderate spring rates. Given the Tiger's front  
end geometry issues, I would get as close to zero effective toe as  possible. 
Turn in will benefit from slight toe out (1/8" or so), but tramlining  and 
tire wear come into play...if you keep toe at zero, tire wear will not  
materially deteriorate with that type of camber value. 
 
I can understand the idea of trying to lighten up steering through  
alignment, but feel the significant give up in grip is too high of a price  to pay. 
But, that's given my use...ymmv...literally :-)

1.5 deg  beagative camber is a LOT on a street car, would be very heavy at
slow  speeds. I use .5/1 negative in the alpine and tiger and its a  good
compromise.

I run a fair bit of castor in the tiger, helps keep  the car straight and
self centre.. but also causes other issues.. am  thinking about backing it
off a little.
