Alignment specks?

[YLW DRM2]

Hey guys,
I plan to finish my Eibachs tonight and bring my car to the alignment shop tomorrow. I was wondering on your suggestion should I be going with the OEM alignment specks or slightly more aggressive?
I plan to track my car few times a year, but it will mostly be a street driving car, though a good handling on the street is not a bad thing to have I think.
What do you think?
Do you know specs for the "mild performance" numbers? Can you give it to me so I can pass it to the mechanic?
Thanks.

I usually wash the specks off with Zaino.

-1.8 front camber
-.9 rear camber
front .10 degrees total toe out .20 if you want it to turn in even quicker
rear .20 degrees total toe "IN" for stability.

Caster should be left to an experienced shop as should doing bump steer adjustments with shims.

Good luck.

Dang I was going to tell you to give Mark Jorgensen a call , but the little fart is just tooooo fast at times.

Listen to Mark and I am sure you can give him a ring tommorrow if the shop has questions.

Thank you Mark. I will pass your specs to the technician tomorrow. Do you mind if we call you in case there are any additional questions?

There's no K in the word "SPECIFICATION".

For camber, I'd go -1.5 front max for the street and -1.0 rear. Even -1.5 will wear the inside of your front tires fairly quickly.

Toe out in front is great for the track, lousy for the street.

Up front, toe out should be neutral or 1/16" per side max. Front toe out will cause the car to move around a bit at higher speeds which can be uncomfortable for some.

Rear toe in should be 1/16 for stability, specially under braking.

Castor should be + 5 to +6. Some guys like +7.

Bump steer isn't really that difficult but should be left to someone who know it. Once you lower the ride height of the car, you will likely feel more bump steer as you've not lowered the steering rack.

Good luck,

Dan
