Starting point for Pfadt camber kit before alignment
Hi, I'm putting the Pfadt camber kit in my 2010 Grand Sport along with the Pfadt poly bushings.
I know I'm going to need an alignment done before I track the car (or do any extensive driving).
Question is, anybody have any guidelines on where to start with shims in front and which plates in back to use to get close to the street/track alignment I'm looking for.
I fear right now it's probably way out of alignment, too much camber dialed in in the front and I'll need to add some shims.
I don't have any alignment tools at home, so I would just like to get it somewhere close to the following specs so I can at least safely drive it to a shop to get it fine tuned and dialed in.
I'm looking to get close to the following alignment settings:
Front camber: -1.3 to -1.4
Read camber: -0.8 to -0.9
Thanks,
Ray

The front you want as much camber as you can get because you can take out all you want with the shims on the upper control arms. On the rear, I went the other way because my car is lowered. The alignment shop ended up making adjustments to the rears.

Also, would like to get close with the proper plate for the rear and hopefully avoid the alignment shop needing to change it too much.
