New Owner - Track Use 2004 Suspension Findings

Just sharing as a new user and appreciative member of the forums. Having raced Spec Miata (and other classes) I have recently made the switch from wheel-to-wheel racing to fun, friendly, and less expensive open track events (Northern California).



Suspension wise, I have installed Koni Yellow Adjustible Shocks, Eibach ProKit Springs, 17x8 wheels with Nitto NT-01 255/40/17 tires.



Interesting finding today - I took my car to have the alignment set and requested front camber of -1.5, rear camber of -1.8, zero front toe-in, and very slight rear toe-in. Just received a call from the alignment shop stating the car has -3.3 degrees of rear camber (each side) and -1.8 degrees of front camber. Furthermore, given the width of the tires they cannot reduce the negative camber without causing the tires to rub (car is too low on the shock / spring combo).



Question 1 - Does that much negative camber sound odd to you? (I expected it to have very little negative camber prior to the alignment.)



Question 2 - Does the Koni Yellow / Eibach ProKit combo dramatically lower the car? (I personally feel the car is WAY lower than I expected it to be. I properly tightened the suspension components to avoid binding, etc).



Thanks!
