Going to get an alignment. My new set up is in the sig below. My factory alignment before install was wearing the outside of the old F1s, I would like to cure that. I've done a search but came up with nothing. What specs should i go with: Camber -0.5
Caster +4.5
Toe 0

Also, what's the best tire pressure, front and rear with the new tires?

I prefer camber at -.7 to -1 degree, 4.5 caster and 1/32nd toe out (up to 3/32nds for autocross). For street use, 0 toe is good, -.7 to -1 camber and 4.5 caster.

I run -1.3 camber, 4.5 castor and 1/32 toe out and when I changed my tires, the fronts had about 10,000 miles left on them and I had 30,000 miles on them already. So, it doesn't destroy tires.....

I'm guessing you want better handling performance?

I really just want to get it realigned since I put all the new toys on and make sure I'm not chewing up these Nittos like the Factory specs did on the outside of the F1s.

Those specs look adequate for a street driven car. They are not aggressive, but should give you some good feel.
