Alignment ?'s

Is the camber on the protege 5 factory adjustable? If so, what's the range?

In case you're wondering, if I get one, the car will most likely see the occasional autocross, when my regular autocrosser is broken.

what's your regular autocrosser? And I don't know the answer to your question....

The front camber and caster is adjustable by turning the upper strut seat a quarter turn at a time in the body. Not much adjustment though.

My regular autocrosser is a 1989 Mirage Turbo, one of about 1800 brought into the U.S.

I test drove the protege5 again tonight. This time the salesman let us take it out ourselves. What a blast to drive! The rear suspension really helps the car rotate once you set up for a corner.

If we get one, it's going to be hard not to autocross the protege5 all the time. Good thing it's about 90hp less then the mirage.

yeah, my automatic Corolla test-drive really set up the protege 5spd test drive perfect. An hour after not finding a five speed Corolla and driving it around while falling asleep, I jumped into the LX 2.0 and loved it
