Default Front end alignment recommendations......

Looking for suggestions as to the specs for a front end alignmenmt for auto-X on a 2002 Camaro SS. It is mostly driven on the street so I want it to be street friendly but still better than the stock setup.

Try a search..
But I think the consenus is -1 Camber,+4.5 Caster, 0 toe for tire wear issues.

Some go with more camber (-1.8 for me).. some like toe out.

Pretty much sums it up.

I'm running -1.3 camber, 4.5 caster, and 1/32nd toe out. My front tires have 28,000 miles on them and have 1/3rd tread left. I did my alignment at 8-10,000 miles. I consider that pretty good tire wear. Have fun....

depends on tire size.
On my 315s on all 4, I prefer something like:
camber -1.5 to -2.0 (have -1.6)
caster +4.5
toe 1/32

Also, I get my alignment done with me in the car so that it's done with the weight of the driver taken into account.
