Suspension Best camber and toe #'s for city driving?
#27
#28
I got an alignment today.
Before
3.5 negative camber pretty much on all four corners. Ouch
and my front toe was 3/4" toed in.
After
2.5 neg front 1/32 toe in
2.0 neg rear 0 toe
The car drive way better and does dart off any more.
Thanks for all your help

Those settings should be a great starting point, especially compared to where you were!
I'm about -2.2 in the front, -1.7 in the rear and no toe in the rear, 1/16 toe in on the front, handling is great for street with the BFG KDWs or Falken Azenis for auto-x.

What type of place did your alignment? I have had 4 places refuse to align my car because it was dropped.
I did find one place that did do my alignment but I don't have high confidence in their work. So how does it drive now?

The lower rear adjustable control arms are for setting rear camber (commonly done)
While upper rear control arms can be upgraded to adjustable ones to set toe, you do not need to do this unless you want to since toe can be adjusted without upgrading the upper rear control arms.

I will have to test it in the mountains now.

Yikes! No wonder it drove like crap when you were overe here in AZ!

I'm about -2.2 in the front, -1.7 in the rear and no toe in the rear, 1/16 toe in on the front, handling is great for street with the BFG KDWs or Falken Azenis for auto-x.

For front toe you can choose more toe out than stock settings to help cornering/turning response and to lessen understeer. The car will tend to turn in quicker which is especially helpful for tight turns such as in autocross or driving school events.
For rear toe you can choose slight toe in for better straight line acceleration/ stability, usually about 1/16" toe in is fine.
Some people choose zero toe front and rear.
