Default camber on the street, and on the track.

just wondering what kind of alignment yall go with (front/rear, camber/caster) on the track and on the street.

Also - how does the thickness of the tire change what camber I should use?

i.e. - I'm switching from a 215/45/17 to a 225/45/16.

any general tips on an agressive alignment for neutral to slight oversteer handling would be appreciated, thanks.

oh - this is on a 4th gen lude, that is daily driven and occasionally autocrossed & flogged through a local twisty back road.

Well camber is non-adjustable, just make sure its within factory spec. Same with caster.

Width of tire doesnt dictate alignment (for a street tire anyways). If its oversteering i would set the toe to zero, all the way around. Pretty standard stuff... and on twisty roads the alignment wont be much of a factor, as you shouldnt be pushing the car very hard anyways (you dont have to drive the road at 8/10ths to have fun), if you're worried about autocross then a touch of toe out might help you up front (helps turn-in).

I think you'll find a generic (mildly aggressive) autocross alignment will be 1/8" total toe out for the front, and a Zero rear toe setting.
