Reply to "How to align front end?"

The GT4-5's are going to have the largest "contoversy" about the alighnment.

In order to go fast in that arangement one is going to require as much caster as you can get.

Do you remember the thread that Johnny Woods put up showing his modified front upper a arms?
That's what he is doing this for.

In my opinion, one is removing much or the steering manuverabilaty by doing so. The driver will no longer be able to operate the steering fast enough to avoid small problems in the road.
Pot holes, injured pedestrians, Iraqi land mines.
That kind of stuff.

I stayed with my 225-50-15 P's on my 8" Campis in the front with 285-55-15's on 10" Campis in the rear.
The only mod was a GTS rear anti-sway bar.

I find this to my liking on balance.

I don't have the cool looks of the current crop of "repro campis" and super tires under the stock fenders, but neither do I have the little quirks that come with them.

Bottom line is there is quite a bit of personal taste set into an alighment. It isn't a matter necessarily of right or wrong. There is some trial and error involved in it.
