      JRS ? Jakes need some help

      Hi I have a jakes APEX chassis and hope some members here might have some experience with his Geometry. Does anyone happen to have any base alignment specs I can start with?

      Looking for Camber caster toe starting points.

      My standard street car alignment is:

      Camber .5-1* negative
      Caster typically as much as I can reasonably get but 5ish degrees positive should be good. If there is more there, take it.
      One tenth of a degree toed in.

      so I found this .. i reckon it has 7 degrees of caster built in..

      "heres the numbers
      61.5 track width
      will allow 285 tire
      .85 neg camber gain per inch of bump
      7 degrees caster built in
      can go to -3.5 camber static with no spacers

      107 instant center
      .815 roll center
      .004 designed bump out, however manufacturing will vary up to .010.
      motion ratio-.774 "

      Agreed, I am going to set camber and toe and see how it feels..
