alignment specs????
I am getting new tires today and I want to get the car aligned. The car does not pull or anything it goes strait down the road But the outside of my front tires are scrubbing. If the car is towed in a little would it cause this?
I do not track my car but I do drag race with it from time to time so what is the best setting?

A lot of factors, including alignment, could contribute to abnormal tire wear. I wouldn't know what the best alignment specs would be for drag racing or your specific car but if you drag it only occasionally I'd probably use the factory recommended specs. I believe, these are the OEM alignment specs:

No personal recommendation but a lot of folks here report great results using the Pfadt Pure Street or in some cases the Dual Steet/Track settings here.

If I were you I wouldn't use the specs posted above (too wide a range) I would use the Pfadt Performance Street to start with ---> HERE
After 5,000 miles look at your tire wear and adjust from there. A specific alignment might not work for your driving style.

The Pfadt street specs allow for some toe-in both front and rear. We tried it with 0 toe F & R, rear toe-in only, and both front & rear toe-in.
We are happiest with using both the front and rear toe-in. There is a slight decrease in steering responsiveness, but the car is still very responsive and also more stable on the highway. The toe-in seems to take the "nervousness" out of the car.
