for a street car, aim for -.6 deg camber up front, -1.1 deg camber in back, zero toe up front, a TINY bit of toe-in in back.

Well, I was going for more rotation, but you are probably closer for a DD. I autocross/DD and an experienced driver. I may have been a little over zealous with my recommendation, especially in the rain I'm already counter steering the second I give it throttle. :dance:

hey, i'm w/ you. my car sees a lot of track time and i loathe understeer. i usually go -1.1/-2.1 camber F/R and 0 toe front, 0 toe rear unless it's a really fast track, in which case i'll add a sliver of rear toe in.....

for a street car, the numbers i provided earlier will work great & save your tires.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I pulled out the Bentley manual last night, and it covers camber adjustment, along with a diagram showing that there are elongated holes on the strut mounts to give you room for adjustment. Armed with this info I can get my camber problem resolved.

If you're one degree out of spec something is bent or broken. I would take the car to a tech and have it gone over. You only get about .5-.7 degrees of adjustment out of the slots in the strut towers.

Something is wrong here.
