Rear toe should be as neutral as possible and front should have a little toe in - not much though. Every car and driver is different though, so you need to set it up for your needs and driving style. For handling on the street 1.5 deg negative camber is good without killing tyres, but only if you increase the toe in a little more - rear should generally stay as neutral as possible - but it is dependent on set-up, tyre wear, conditions etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pm me if you'd like it.Cheers,Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguing with my dealer about excessive tyre wear and my rears have a variance of .75 degrees between the left and right camber!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa g6et Member 657 Member For: 13y 8m 15d Gender: Male Location: Perth NOR Posted 30/09/11 10:33 PM Share Posted 30/09/11 10:33 PM I had my alignment set by reputable suspension shop in WA, this is their recommendations and what they had to do. Worthy note is my car has been lowered to 335mm center rim to guard front and rear.When I took my car to them camber was between 1.5-2.5 on the 4 corners and toe had been pushed to 5mm to compensate.They recommended 0.6 neg all round which will help reduce tyre wear and increase traction at the rear and give a better handling package.They had to use a upper control arm concentric poly bush on rear to get this and had my front upper control arm modified with longer bolts,poly bushes and shims to get the 0.6 neg. Caster was then set with 1 deg difference across the front(7deg left 6 deg right) and toe set right back to 1.5mm front and 2mm rear.Car feels and handles much better tracks straight, fairly neutral turning, wanders much less and does feel like the power gets down heaps better.Whilst these settings may not suit track or absolute performance handling it does provide a nice compromise and looks after the tyres.These cars stock do not offer much adjustment and even stock height benefit from camber/caster kit fitments. The initial cost would be quickly recouped in increased tyre life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a note that we work in decimal degrees, not mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I foolishly had mine done at pedders and it has creaked in the right rear ever since (which my dealer says is "a body creak"!! even though it wasn't there until after the alignment), so I'm looking for a good shop to take it to. Have considered Wilkinsons or Wheels World, but just wondered where you went.Also, what did you pay for the alterations? (the rear bushes and changes to the front etc)Cheers,Josh Edited 25/10/11 11:23 PM by DEDLYWEPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
