For those that know their alignment I just aligned my car this morning since I got new rubber and I put it at:
...........left..............right
caster 4.25.............4.50
camber -.10.............-.10
Total Toe ...... .06
What I like about my car is the setback is .00
and the thrust angle was only -.07 so I know the car was cherry(but not now 
). The thing I was wondering was I had to max out the caster to get it there and thats about were its supposed to be, anyone do their own and remember how much adjustment they had left and what amount they had. I like a little - camber so thats why its were its at

are you lowered any? Im on a prokit, and ended up with 5.90L and 6.50R. If I had coil overs and didnt have the passenger side sag, I think I could get both sides in the 6.X range.

All original except SFCs(which doesnt matter about this lol). I worked as an alignment tech for years back in the day and remember doin a couple of these cars here and there, just dont remember the specifics of how far the caster/camber would go and since mine maxed out about were GM asks for I was wondering. I know that when ya lower a long/short control arm it increases the caster in general.

Yes, all changes when lowering- toe moves, caster goes more +, and camber goes more -. My comment was that the caster moves higher than you could get before and the camber moves as well but most of the time you adjust back to were it was.
