Does any one have OR know, the optimum alignment specifications for a 1988 mini running of 13"/J7.

As i have fitted HI-LO's (lowered 10mm on the front and 40mm on the rear) and adjustable front lower arms, so ideally i need the toe and camber setting, also i could do with the castor measurment range as i suspect that is out of tolarenes (i may fit adjustable tie rods if so).

Thanks in advance, an advice is greatly received. :genius:

ooo big wheels, have setup loads of these as to be honest the owners thought that they drove like kak with the standard stuff - and indeed they do.

well, the settings i aim for is:
Camber - straight up, tracking - toe out 1/16" max, castor - 6 degs matched perfectly side to side.

at the back, again camber straight up, and toe ideally parallel or at most 1/16" toe in.

you will need the tie rods adjustable, and get decent rubbers in there..

with the hi-los fitted it is worth getting the corner weights setup.

hth,
Dave
