I did do a few HPDE with NASA, but this been a few year since. Also I drove a CR-X before, so the spec is no use. I did a search but it is japanese spec, they put 550lb spring in front and 480lb in the back, also front is 0 camber, rear is 2 degree. toe is 0 all the way.
I just don't understand how can they drive the car around with those spec.
thanks for the help

Hmmm, i guess a good starting point would be some toe in at the front to help straightline stability, and maybe a bit of toe in the rear to help straighten out at corner exit.
The 0 camber is really strange, i'd want at least -1 in front as a starting point, and as much castor as you can get.
Good luck

hey dude,
Go to a performance alignment shop. The factory specs are all over the place. I have a -1.4 up front and a -1.8 in the rear. I have the same suspension as you. It was like driving a new car man. Awesome turn in. Much better on the track. Does make you pay attention a little more with everyday driving.
Have fun
oh yea the stock castor is good enought for the large majority.

I am now at -1 up front, and -1.8 in the rear. It definately drives different now. Much more crisp, stable, and it just feels more planted. It was almost 0 camber before the alignment was done. Toe is set to .05 front, and .07 rear.
