Alignment specs 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be 145volvowayne on  Mon Jan 16 11:32 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Hello all,
I will be taking my 71 145 in for an alignment now that it is back on the road and I wanted to get the vast and brilliant advice from the board about setting the car up "other-than-stock." I have John Parker’s progressive springs in front, single rate in the rear, IPD bars, newer FWD 17" Volvo rims, and 225/45-17 tires on the car. I like to drive with a little extra “spirit” and will be taking the car to PIR and SIR for fun and educational track days in the future. So should I deviate from the stock alignments settings to improve turn-in and cornering with out sacrificing straight line tracking and tire wear? If so what would those numbers be?
What so all of you think?
Wayne
