Alignment today, but why to toe out?
#31
For street Cars, you are limited by the range of adjustability of the stock components. I always recommend getting your front camber to it's max (-1.5 -2.0 is about all you can get) and then set the rear camber to suit... If you can get -2.0 in front, then go with about -1.5 rear.. keep the front with more camber, because you need to change the proportional balance characteristic of the Car.. combine that with the front swaybar being on it's softest setting and the rear being on its second hardest setting and getting your ride height set properly. If you can get the Car corner balanced, even better... that way you can try to throw more weight towards the front.

toe
Correct.... 1/16th toe out and soften up the front swaybar works well. You have to remember that all of these settings are interactive! For example, there's no use in running -3.0 degrees camber in front, without adjusting toe to suit that setting. Like wise ride height and swaybar settings.

very good information ! thanks a lot. this is indeed different from factory setting for the camber value front !(and also TOE out instead of TOE in !).
i have nothing good in my current setting so need to modify TOE in , softer sway bar for front a lot, i am surprised by the camber (2 degres) on front for a street use ! i did already more than factory (1.3 degre, instead of 1 ) bu t must admit still have understeering.
i will get some equipment in order to get the corner weight.
Ride Height , as per your experience do you have a setting value or shall i stick to factory value as starting point ? I guess a slightly higher rear shall put more weight balanced on the front ?
thanks again for your help.
cheers
