First, I want to give a huge thanks to this forum already. Without you all, my Laurel would still have a locked trunk and I'd be paying a locksmith to get in. I live in the US and we recently started getting R32s, A31s and C33s because of a law that makes them classic cars over here after 25 years. Unfortunately, shops don't have specifications for anything on the cars. Was curious if anyone knew and could give me the stock alignment specs for a C33. I'm trying to fix some alignment issues, but the shop said they couldn't do much without knowing what the alignment should be from factor.

I'm on coilovers as well, so if you have better specifications to make the car stable, I'm all ears. I spend a lot of time around 110 - 130kph if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Here's the new alignment specs for the C33. The shop based them off an S13. They happened to do a heavily modified, very low one the day before so it ended up being pretty easy for them.

Thanks to anyone who at least gave some thought to it. Hopefully this will help someone in the future.

Cheers

just dont run 24" rims as in the above alignment picture :nyaanyaa:

general car alignment should be the same as s13 + what ever feels better

front
camber- pending how much grip you need while turning, how long you want your front tyres to last from camber wear 2.5 deg should be nice and grippy
even for both side 7-8 deg castor pending how you want steering wheel to flick back, think stock is 6 deg maybe..
front toe 0.5mm toe each side so total toe 1mm

rear
least amount of camber unless fitment game rules over grip
toe is usually driver preference, least amount for straight line grip, adding more and playing around can help with stability while drifting

    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
    • You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP
    • Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 馃槃 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info
    • Not the headlight. It's the DRL that serves double duty as white and amber. Would be the easiest way to make it happen, if fitting a BCM was in any way an easy thing. Otherwise you'd do it with some relay logic and/or maybe some diodes.
    • Would require a very smart body control module which these cars are about 20 years to old to have
