Default EG Autocross Alignment

Can someone recommend a good autocross alignment setup for a '92-95 Civic hatch with 15" wheels? I searched but didn't find anything. Thanks.

Front Toe: 1/8" total toe out
Front Camber: Will depend on tires... for street rubber I suggest between -1 to -2 degrees
Rear Toe: 0 toe or 1/16" total out - depends on suspension/tires
Rear Camber: Again, depends on other things... 0 to -0.5

Thanks. I'm buying some used Kosei K1 15x7" with Victoracer V700 205/50/15 tires. Suspension is single-adjustable coilovers with spring rates of 400 front, 500 rear. Stock 21mm front swaybar, Comptech 22mm rear swaybar/tiebar combo.

Front toe: 1/8th total toe out
Front camber:-2 degrees or more
Rear toe: Zero
Rear Camber Zero or 1/16" total out

Tire pressure is also important. I've never run on V700's but I suspect you will want a least a 2lb higher cold pressure in the rear for rotation....

Enjoy...

Try starting with around 37 psi cold and then bleed after each run making sure you don't go over 40 psi. The v700s work well in the high 30s hot. If the car really is not turning and you can't fix it with suspension, you might want to consider a really high rear pressure to reduce the contact patch. I do that in d stock and the car does rotate better (about 48 in the rears). Good luck.
