Track Alignment Specs for FL5 Civic Type R (Full RV6 Suspension)

[Boostblue965]

Hey everyone,





I’m looking for advice on the best alignment specs for my 2023 Honda Civic Type R (FL5). The car is equipped with a full RV6 Performance suspension setup, and I’ll be running it mainly on track (Kuwait Motor Town) with occasional street driving.





Specifically, I’d like recommendations for:

• Front Camber, Caster, Toe
• Rear Camber, Toe
• And importantly, what’s the best rear sway bar setup for track use with this platform?

My goal is to maximize grip and balance for circuit racing while keeping the car predictable and stable. Any input from those with track experience on the FL5 (or similar FK8 setups that translate well) would be really appreciated.





Thanks in advance!

Try these out, couple FK8 guys I know used this as a base and adjusted to their preference

Front Camber: 3.5 deg
Front Castor: 7.3 deg
Front Toe: zero to -0.02in depending on preference
Rear Camber: 2.5 deg
Rear Toe: 0.07in or zero it out if you prefer a more loose rear end

Question about front camber, Is yours adjustable from a camber plate on the strut tower or through a lower adjustable ball joint or both?

Nice list, have you done Spoon or PRL Rigid collars? They help maintain alignment under load.
