Alignment settings & tires for racing - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Alright, got the car aligned yesterday:

FRONT
Camber: -1.5 -1.6
Caster: 5.5 5.6
Toe in: 0 0

REAR
Camber: -1.2 -1.2
Toe in: 1/8 total (1/16 per wheel)

We noticed a fair difference with me in or out of the car, so these settings were achieved with me in the car. Not as much front camber as I was hoping for, but I may try grinding down the spacers, should get me pretty close to 2 deg.

Another Autocross this weekend, can't wait to see how it feels!

QUESTION:
I played around with the rear bolts to level the rear. My car does NOT have a noticeable lean, but I was trying to get it perfect and now have 1 bolt set maybe 1 inch shorter than the other (really didn't make much of a difference in the suspension height). Is there any issue with this? Is this the proper way to dial in the rear suspension, or should I just set both bolts the same?

Thanks!
Jordan
