Default alignment specs.

What alignment specs do you guys run with a stock suspension for the street? Should you just stick the factory specs? Also, how much of a caster split do you guys usually use?

I think most people run the stock specs with a stock setup. With stock control arms I think you can only get camber to around -1 and caster to about +4.5 or so but at stock height it may be a little less.

Search for Trackbird alignment specs. I gave my local shop these specs:

Camber: -1.3
Caster: 4.5
Toe: 0


And got this:
Camber: -1.2
Caster: 4.7
Toe: 0

She's very responsive now and I really like the way she corners.

I couldnt get that much caster for some reason. I had the guys give me stock specs and i could only get 3.5 caster on the left side. Do you guys run a castor split to compensate for the crown in the road, or both sides the same?
