Default best alignment setup... I searched but couldn't find it.

There was a post a while ago about a good camber and toe settings. I tried searching for it but can't find it.

I'm looking mainly for the toe settings front and rear. The car see some track, but is mostly street. I want pretty neutral steering. I'm pretty sure the rear toe was said to be set at 0 to .25.

Does anyone know the post or have any suggestions.

Thanks!

A lot of things will factor into a good street/track setting. When you say track do you mean autocross/road or drag? Also, what type of car? Swap? Tires? Sway bars? Struts/Springs?

I would reccomend close to stock settings with a tad more negative camber up front... something like -1.5degrees. Keep the toe neutral or 1/16" out in front. Keep it neutral in the rear.

thanks for the reply! Track == autocross. My setup is as follows:

92 civic hatch
b18c5 swap
yoko parada 205/45/17
Suspension techniques front and rear sway bars
skunk2 coilovers/agx struts

what handling and driving characteristics would I get with the front setup you mentioned?

Then what I said will work well. The toe out will help the turn-in and get the rear end moving.

1/8 out front
0 rear

max camber you can get

great for track..
but it eats your front tires

so maybe 1/16 out

That is true.... but he needs to drive on the street too!

I was running -3.5 degreees up front on my ITR. That baby turned like a ****, but my A520's would not last more than 10k miles...
