I'll be taking my car to sears tomorrow for an alignment. Wanted to get the
general consensus of waht specs I should ask them to hit. Car is going in
with all new... inner tie rods, outer tie rods, LCA's with MOOG TPR,
Koni/intrax, adjustable camber plates up front, ingalls front caster
adjusters, rear police mounts, tpr on the tension strut rods,GTP arms, h-box
brace.
 
I have the negative 1 degree camber plate in the front right now and I was
gon a ask them to make both sides be -1.25 with the -1 plate in there so
that I always have -.25degrees of negative camber on the car, and with the
camber kit I could go as far as -1.5degrees. Should I have them go more? say
set a base of -.50 or -.75 so that I can go as far as -2degrees of camber?
The car will be primairyly street driven during the spring, summer, fall,
but when it comes to road courses I can change the camber pretty quick, just
need to invest in some crowsfeet wrenches.
 
What should I have them set the car at for overall. I rotate my tires often,
so I'm not tooo worried about scrubbing the inner edge.
 
I have seen lots of numbers over the past 2 years on alignment, but I wanted
to get some discussion and consensus here before I tell them what they need
to hit :-)
 
Thanks
