I must admit, I have seen your post for several days now and bummed no one has responded yet

I don't have any specific specs, but will recommend 1°+ neg. camber and some additional castor if you are running some wider tires up front. The neg. camber can be a bit hard on tires, but just the price to pay for TT.

If you plan on ANY track-time, don't plan on getting tons of life out of your tires. I ran a single day last month and lost about 25% of my tires life in 5 hours. I do run a DOT rated "R" compound though.

I'm on 1.5 neg camber and it feels really good for autocross, road racing have no idea. (havent tried it yet). The understeer is nowhere near as bad but im not running stock though. But just like jazzer said at least 1 neg camber will be better than stock alignment.


It also depends on tires to, like he said also. When i got my car it had all season and they lasted all year for autox. Then i swiched to my nitto 555s and ive only had them about half a year and they are about half gone.
