Good thread.  (Note: if you really want accurate settings, have someone
sit in the drivers seat while it is being aligned)  Does anyone have any
experience with setting up their own alignment specs on a 5K?  For many
years, I have messed around with alignment specs in an effort to
"un-dumb" most regular street vehicles.  (Did this on an '87 4K front
driver with the 4 banger and got a couple National Tour autocross
trophy's in HS with it.)  I have this natural, uncontrollable urge to
spec out something other than factory specs when I get it re-aligned
after installing more aggresive underpinnings.  Anyone have any data
they can share on this?

Thanks listers!!
