New Owner - need help

I took the easy way out, being fortunate to find a nicely finished Super Stalker for sale fairly close. I believe it is #87? I've owned Lotus cars for 39 years (currently own 5) and was excited to add the Stalker. It will be mainly road use with 3-6 AutoX / summer. I need allignment specifications to use as a starting point and greatly appreciate information / advice. Thanks in advance - Milt

The alignment will depend a little on the tires.  We run the Bias-ply slicks like the Hoosiers and Avons for autocross.
We do Zero Toe front and back (you can play with a little toe out on the front if you'ld like, but I'd probably start at 0).
Camber in the front: -1.0 degrees
Camber Rear: 0 degrees

I just keep the same alignment for the street tires and haven't had any issues.

If you are running a radial tire or a street tire, you can probably dial that front camber in a bit to maybe -2.0 or -3.0 to get them to work a little better for autocross.

Another data point: I'm on R888's and zero toe & zero camber seems to work so far on the street & road course. With those settings, I get nice & even wear across the tire, but then again, I'm not too fast on the road courses yet. Once I really get the car moving, I imagine that camber will need to be more negative.

You could start with zero everywhere and then keep an eye on your tread wear pattern?

Thanks for your information / advice! Alignment tomorrow, so greatly appreciated. Currently sitting on Dunlop Direzza's.

First thing you need to do is get rid of those tires. Even for street driving, these cars are so light you need a 200 treadware or less tire. A lot of us are driving on Toyo R888. They work well for track days and spirited driving, autocross demands the most out of a tire and you will probably want to get some slicks soon after. Go on out and try it, I am sorry to say but you will leave the event more likely frustrated on the dunlops more then anything. I personally feel its even a safety issue to not have a track tire for the street.

Scott, They are aged out and going to go anyways. Thanks for the advice.
