Default Front End Alignment Specs??

Ok I知 putting on a pair of Global west upper a-arms and a set of adjustable LG motor sports lower a-arms. After this I値l need the front end re-aligned, so my question is what are a good set of specs to set the front end to? Take in mind I drive the car daily about 70 miles round trip, but also autocross on weekends.

I'll be doing an alignment on my 02 WS6 tomorrow in my auto class. The suspension, wheels and tires are all stock. Can anyone recommend any specs for me?

Rob,

Depends on what you are trying to do. I get good tire wear with my current setup (20500 on the factory tires) and 8000 or so miles on the alignment and still have 1/2 tread or better left. For street, I'd stick to about .8-1.0 degrees negative camber, a "stock" castor setting (or 4.5 degrees works well) and 0 toe (not in or out). It's not too aggressive, but will inprove handling. Just my thoughts....

Thanks a lot man. I didn't have time to setup the alignment machine today, all I had time for was to rotate my tires. Too many kids kept asking questions about my car. <img src="https://ls1tech.com/threads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I'll get it done once I get back from vacation though. Those numbers look great BTW thanks a bunch.
