I'm sorry if this has been done on here before but I can't find it.
I'm expecting a new set of r888's to arrive next week and I'm going to be doing my own alignment ( with my sons help ) Everthing is all over the place after installing the new springs so I have a blank slate to work with and I'm very new to mx5"s.
The car spec's are its an NA6 (1990),NB king springs, about standard height , cheep KYB shocks , Standard sway bars , standard mx5 lsd , 15 * 6 1/2" rims
The car will be a 100% track car with no road use at all.
I need a good starting point to work with
Any help would be appreciated

Ignore the hot pressure recommendation of 38psi. 32psi is the hot pressure I would recommend for an MX5 with R888s.

I'm currently running 24 cold, which is about 30 hot. I was up around 32 hot and my tyre guy recommended I run a bit less as he didn't think I was getting enough heat into the Tyres.
