Default Getting an alignment... some questions.

my car has some terrible wear on the passenger side so its time to get an alignment. my car is lowered with Tein HA coilovers (about 2"). my question is..
what should i set my toe to? people say 1/8" toe out helps the car to rotate.. true?

i dont have a camber kit, so my negative camber will stay the same, but how much should i set my front and rear toe? in or out?

If your cars lowered and you have no camber adjustibility, You need to set your toe in. Front 4mm rear 3mm. I have had good tire wear with these settings.

I f your a cheap *** (like me) and can't adjust camber. Toe in will sastisfy your handling and tire wear needs.
