Car Setup

The Setup tab records your car's mechanical configuration -- brake pads, wheel alignment, and suspension settings. Open it from either the Garage overview or the Setup tab inside a car's detail view.

You can save multiple alignment and suspension setups per car -- useful for comparing street, track, autocross, wet, and factory spec configurations. Only one of each is marked as "current" (what's physically on the car right now); the rest are saved alternatives you can switch to at any time.

Brake pads

Track which brake pads are installed on your car, separated by front and rear axle.

Adding brake pads

Click Add Pads to open the brake pad form. Fields include:

The Setup tab displays the currently installed pads for both front and rear in a side-by-side layout. If only one position has pads recorded, the other shows a placeholder.

Alignment

Record wheel alignment specifications with per-corner measurements.

Per-corner fields

Each alignment record captures individual wheel measurements:

Front wheels (left and right):

• Camber (degrees)
• Toe (degrees)
• Caster (degrees)

Rear wheels (left and right):

• Camber (degrees)
• Toe (degrees)

The active alignment card

The top card shows whichever alignment is currently on the car, marked with a green Current badge. It displays:

• The setup name and the date it was measured (plus mileage, if recorded)
• A spec grid showing Front/Rear Camber and Front/Rear Toe as Left / Right pairs
• Any notes you saved with the setup

If no alignment is marked current (for example, right after you've deleted the active one), an amber banner appears in place of the card: "No current setup selected -- pick one below." A Use most recent button next to the message activates the newest saved alignment in one click, capturing the current mileage for maintenance history.

Adding or editing

The top-right of the Alignment section shows:

• Edit button + chevron dropdown -- when an alignment is currently active. The pencil button edits the active setup; the dropdown's Add new setup item creates a brand-new alignment record without overwriting the current one.
• Add Setup button -- when no alignment exists yet.

When adding a new alignment, preset name chips appear below the name field: Track, Street, Autocross, Factory Spec, Wet. Tap one to fill the name automatically. These are optional -- type any name you like.

Other saved alignments

Below the active card, an Other setups (N) list shows every alignment that isn't currently active, newest first. Each row displays the name, creation date, mileage, and a compact spec preview (e.g. Front -2.5° / -2.3° · Rear -1.8° / -1.7°). Three actions are available per row:

The list animates: rows fade in when added, collapse smoothly when deleted, and slide up when another row becomes active.

When you have more than one alignment saved, the section header also shows a count (e.g. "Alignment · 3 setups").

Suspension

Track suspension configuration including spring rates, damper settings, anti-roll bars, and ride heights.

Suspension fields

All fields are optional -- fill in only what applies to your setup.

Multiple suspension setups

Suspension setups follow the same pattern as alignments:

• An active card at the top with a green Current badge, spec grid (Spring Rates, Damper Settings, Anti-Roll Bars, Ride Heights), and any notes.
• An amber "No current setup selected" banner with a Use most recent shortcut when none is active.
• An Edit / ▾ Add new setup split-button in the header (or Add Setup if nothing is saved yet).
• Preset name chips on the add form: Track, Street, Autocross, Baseline, Stock.
• An Other setups list below the active card with per-row Activate, Edit, and Delete actions.
• The same replacement-picker behavior when deleting the currently active setup.

This makes it easy to maintain several parallel configurations:

• Stock suspension vs. aftermarket coilovers
• Stiff track settings vs. comfortable street settings
• Baseline setup vs. experimental changes

Mileage tracking

When adding, editing, activating, or deleting an alignment or suspension setup, you can record the mileage at the time of the change. If the setup is being made active and a mileage is entered, the car's odometer reading is updated automatically.

This keeps your car's mileage in sync with setup changes without needing to update it separately, and keeps maintenance history tied to what was on the car at each service.
