Alignment for R (autoX)
so, went down to my local Tire Kingdom (actually TK Performance, land of much bling), but they have an in ground alignment rack. Got to do the alignment my self, here are the final settings:
FR -1/16" out toe
FL -1/16' out toe
RR 0 toe
LR 0 toe
this is dead on to what everyone has said are the best autoX settings. Has anyone seen accelerated front tie wear for street driving? the car tracks like it is on rails now, litterally 1/2 a mile without touching the steering. Our event got calcelled till next weekend, so havent had a chance to see what it is like between the cones.

That's really cool that you had the chance to do the alignment yourself.
I'm set the same in the front except I have a slight toe-in in the back... I read somewhere it helps stability in braking and stuff.
These setting haven't caused any bad wear problems. Though I think camber and tire pressures will more likely dictate how your tires wear.

Toe settings will affect tire wear more than camber any day.

Actually its the combination of neg camber and neg toe together that starts to accelerate inside wear big time. If you have 2+ degrees neg camber, an 1/8 toe out will produce noticeable wear

I used to have 1/5-1/4" total toe out in the front with moderate camber (~1.6 deg.) and that was messing up my street tires. 1/8th total toe is NOT the best for auto-x. It is the best setting for street and auto-x before you start doing a number on your tires..
