I have to impove my alignment espetially the front. The PS2 tires on my 2006 Coupe are loosing "chunks" outide... Obviously the camber is not enough. I have read a couple of good threads on alignment but they all focus on track alignement.

I need a compromise between street and track use. After reading I was thinging about the following setup:

Front: -1.5 Camber ; 5.5 Caster ; +1/16 toe out
Rear: -0.8 Camber ; -1/8 toe in

Looks good to me but I think you could be a little more aggressive on the front camber. Mine is at -2.5 and it's a street car that sees occassional track duty. I'm not seeing any unusual wear like I did on the rears before I had them reset to -1.0. But I'm at neutral toe on the front so that helps a bit with tire wear.

No more suggestions ... :(

I have the same question. I do occasional track days, but I notice that my outside of the tire wears out more than the inside, so I definitely need a little more aggressive set up, but still be able to drive on the street without wearing out inner rubber in few thousand miles.

This is what we did today:

FRONT: -1.73 toe-out +0.12
REAR: -0.90 toe-in -0.31

Handling is stable on highway and city traffic.

I am curious to see how it will handle on track and especially what my tire wear will be ...
