Alignment Recs for FFR Coupe?

We have a coupe in the shop for a customer. Setting alignment. What is the factory rec? What is rec for track? Why is this info not available on their Web site?

Just give them a call and I'm sure they would be more than willing to help you out. Or, you could check the coupe forum on ffcobra.com. Lots of helpful people over there.

I got it off a FF FAQ. Thanks.

Looks like this car has the wrong combination of something. We have the UCAs in as far as they will allow in their adjustment and we can only squeek out -.5 degrees of camber with 5 degrees of caster. If we pull the caster into the 3 range then we loose the little negative camber we have achieved.

Any thoughts?

It's possible that the car has the pin drive length lower a-arms, and the stock length upper a-arms to cause this. My coupe still had quite a bit of thread left in the upper arms with -1degree of camber and 5.5 degrees of caster, but I'm also running power steering, so this spec works great for me.

Maybe a call to FFR with the length measurements of each arm?. Drastic measure, cut down the threaded sleeve on the upper a-arm? I can check the stock length on the upper and lower arms later tonight on my coupe to give you the stock bolt on wheel length if needed.
