4.5 degrees camber, -1.3 degrees camber and 1/32nd inch of total toe out. Have my first autocross events in 2 weeks and I'll verify that it works as good there as it does on street tires.

Re: camber/caster?

Those numbers are good,but I don't like the toe out. toe out is to "lead" the car into turns. I would go toe 0* or toe in 1/16*.

I use toe out to help the car on turn in. It is not twitchy to drive (even at high speed), but it actually turns now. I am setting up for autocross and I drive my car daily. 0 toe is not a bad compromise and would probably work very well also.

Re: camber/caster?

I have -1.4 camber, +4.5 caster, and 0 toe. Works great, but I've never tried anything but 0 toe. I have worked up from -.5 to -1.4 in increments to see if tire wear increased, and it has not.

Street manners are fine
