[s-cars] alignment setting

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Yeah... I like:
-1 in front with me sitting in it.  If they won't let you sit in it, ask for -.9 on the rt front, and -1.1 on the left.  No toe.  If you have camber plates up front, you can try and get some caster.
 
Rear... -.5 on the camber.  A little bit of toe in in the rear will help with straight line stability... 1/16 per side.
 
If you are wearing the outside edges of your fronts, you may want to go with a little more neg camber.
HTH,
Dave

Morning- 
Someone recently (Dave?) noted their preferred alignment settings, I should have written them down.  I just remember as much caster as you can get (little to none!), same on camber (about neg. 1), for fronts.  Forget toe, and rears.  
My set up is H&R 29771 / Bilstein Sport, ECS camber plates (ground towers), 17x8 Avus 255/40/17, driven to 'enjoy'.  I think I neared about -0.9 front camber last alignment.  My outers always always wear first, then centers (esp. center of snows - gone).  Inners never an issue.
Care to refresh me here?  Hugely appreciated, I'm aiming to mount my *new* (just for you Senor Mullane) CUMHO MX's @ lunch, then head to alignment shop.  Nothing like thick tread, a straight and wow non-shuddering steering wheel, and straight tracking car...  for what... about a week?  D'oh.  Looking forward to it.


Hey.  Maybe I'll even wax it. 
TIA.
