I am gettting my 97 GTS aligned tomarrow and after alot of searching on the subject I decided to go with the following specs:
Front:
Camber -1.50
Caster +6.0
Toe -.03

Rear :
Camber -.50
Toe +.03

Is this a good setup for a daily driven car that sees a few driving events each year? I would like to improve handling in the twisties without excessive tire wear, decreased straight line braking or excessive tracking in grooved pavement. (yes, I know, I want it all

Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks

Just what Tom said do a rear camber of -1.00, you might wanna bump the front camber to -1.75. I'm running those specs (other specs are same as yours) and am very happy with the streetability and she responds better on the track. No noticable tire wear yet.

STOCK for 97:

Camber -.2 (+/- .2)
Castor +6 (+ or - .5)
toe: +.05 (+ or - .04)
.
Rear Camber -.5 (+ or - .2)
Rear Castor: +1 (+ or - .5)
.
The front camber will change ~-1.0 if you pull the shims. Just re-set the front toe and you're good to go.
