Just go for stock settings. No need to go aggressive.

Are you going to do the alignment on your own?

No track driving? Ok, this is for street purpose:


front:

+10' toe in (total)
-30' to -1° camber
7°30' castor


rear:

+10' toe in (total)
-1°30' camber


Setting toe and camber on rear does affect each other.
So do both alternately to set them correctly.

Thanks for the data,no tracking but want it to handle alot better than it does now.

I'll be doing the spring swap myself and need to find a reputable company who can do the 4 wheel alignment after hearing horror stories about outfits that advertise their work but fail to deliver.

Any suggestions welcome. :happy2:
