Default Drag alighnment specs '00 civic Ex

Does anyone here have recomended alignment specs for Drag racing only on a 96-00 civic coupe? I know that stock is: Caster 1.66 degrees, camber 0 degrees, tow in 0.04 inches & 0.08 degrees.

We got a pretty good Hunter alignment rack and I want to make it perfect. I also have adjustable upper control arms. The car sits about a half inch higher than stock.

this is a car by car thing, no point in asking for specs. You'll make it perfect by messing with it at the track.

Put it on the rack, and mount the sensors up. Zero the toe and camber out, then put the front jack under the center of the car. Raise the car slightly to simulate acceleration, and see where the alignment specs go. Compensate accordingly.

i aligned my car with me in the seat. set the toe to spec, and gave it as much positive caster as i could get out of the traction bar. my car had an issue turning right under power. with the alignment, it has been great.

Thanks guys! I simulated acceleration on the rack and adjusted it to zero camber with just a tiny tiny amount of tow in

idk if it will help you, but when i talked to jason (st00pid) he told me to the back wheels straight up/down with 0 camber/caster.... and the fronts with a hair negative camber, and a hair toe in..... whether or not this will work well for a street car...he said it will work really well for a track car
