I'm guessing you want increased cornering performance?

If so, I'd shoot for the following:

-.7 to -1.0 camber (if it will go to -1, if not, make them match at a lower setting)
4.5 castor (as high as 5 is still fine, but most cars will do the 4.5 setting)
0 toe (not in or out)

You can also drag race on this setup with no problems, but it will make the car more lively in corners. Tire wear is still excellent with this setup (I ran it, but with -1.3 camber for several years and tire life was no problem).

My thoughts.

That's pretty close to what I gave you. I'd prefer to see the camber match, but it's pretty good. As long as it doesn't pull to one side, I'd take it.

What kind of places are you guys getting your alignments done? All the places I go to refuse to do anything other than factory specs.
