I'm planning to get my '69 Beetle off the jackstands and to the alignment shop this week -- after 9+ years of work
. It's a fairly hot street car (2332, 44IDFs, CB wedgeports, FK-47, 8.7:1) that I plan to use as a weekend driver; twisties and straight. What do you guys suggest for alignment settings?
I've heard -1/16" toe for the front. Is that at the tire edge or wheel lip? What about the rear? I've heard to set it -1/16 to neutral toe. What about front and rear camber? Actually alignments specs would be great.
Front:
*2.5" narrowed adjustable ball joint beam set to neutral height
*2.5" lowered spindles
*Stock '69 bug steering
*GR2's
*3/4" Sway-Away sway bar
*205/55's on 16x6 Fuchs
*spare tire in well
Rear:
*24.5mm torsion bars with urethane sping plate bushings
*2.5" lowered with adjustable spring plates and urethane bushings
*GR2's
*3/4" Sway-Away sway bar
*225/50's on 16x7 Fuchs
