Alignment Specs
Next week I will be getting an alignment on my '01 coupe. I want to stay within the range of "official" settings, but I know that we can get best handling by tending toward the edge of the range in certain directions. For example, as much negative camber on the front as possible. But what about rear camber? And toe-in/toe-out for front and rear? Thanks.

Re: Alignment Specs (Gearhead Jim)
Its hard to say, it depends on your driving and what is most important. With more neg camber then stock you will get (if driving mostly on street)
cons
1) uneven tire wear (assuming you dont run hard all the time)
2) decrease in braking traction
3) decrease in take off traction
pros are
1) increased cornering traction which means more G's in the turn - faster entry, apex and a good hard exit putting the power down :D :D
