Need some advice from you mini folks. Jordan will be autox’g his cooper this year in TIR class. What alignment does he need for this car? He’s trying to save money for a trip to Japan later this year, so no shocks/struts for this year. The car is basically stock w/ a set of hankook’s. What do you recommend alignment wise?

Now just a guy driving a mustang....

Max camber in the front, though I don't think the R53 has much front adjustment. 0 toe, or maybe a little toe out in the front.

Rear, drop the camber a bit..I think the stock camber spec is pretty pushy (I think Maria dropped her's by a half degree or so...drop has in absolute value). A little toe out in the rear will help with rotation.

Granted, the degree to which he is comfortable running some toe will be dictated by how much additional daily driven tire wear he is wanting to live with. So you might want to just go 0 toe all around.
