Default DC Aligment specs

I searched here and google and didn't find exactly what I am looking for. Can anyone recommend some alignment specs for a GSR with Full coilovers and function 7 lca's? I will be ordering a new rear sway bar in a few weeks, most likely going with 23mm itr bar. The car is getting aligned hopefully tonight. The car is my daily so I know I can't get to wild with the alignment. So is it worth to change it up slightly or should i just keep it within OEM specs? If it is worth it shout out some specs or maybe some info on the net worth reading that I could not find.

Thanks everyone.

since it is your daily driver I would not suggest any extreme alignment specs. I would ask them to get it as close to stock spec as possible.

my $0.02

That is what I was thinking. But I did read some info on an rsx website, not really sure if that applies here or not. They recommended theses setting for "high preformanace street"

Camber Front = -1.5
Camber Rear = -.75
Toe front = 1/32nd toe out
Toe Rear = 1/32nd toe in
Caster = as much positive caster as you can get...

Just go to stock specs with the toe, as that is the only thing you can adjust on these types of cars. As for camber, they will tell you it is off and what not if your car is lowered substantially, but the fact is that if the toe is correct the tires will only wear very slightly on the inside shoulder of the tire. No need to align your car to custom specs, especially for daily driving.

P.S. I align cars weekly...

Yeah keep the toe at 0, especially if you like your tires. Toe will shred the inner shoulder of a tire with negative camber like a cheese grater. (It's not the camber like many people thing, it's the toe in conjuction with the camber)

Camber is really a preference thing. If you're DDing it, you should probably go for closest to stock camber w/o rubbing (assuming you have camber kits). Caster isn't adjustable, so you pretty much get what you get.
