Advice needed for alignment settings
 
Hey gang, I just got my new Fuchs 8x9's on my car and they look friggin sweet! I couldn't be more excited. I will post a pic when I get my ride height and everything dialed in and I get my wing back on my car. Oh yeah, a question for you!

I just recently did a bunch of suspension work on the front and rear suspension and now all my alignment settings are out of wack. I'm talking caster, camber, and toe on all four wheels. I'm gonna take my car down to the alignment shop in the next couple of days and would like some input as to what the toe, caster, and camber settings should be. The car is driven only on the street, has stock torsion bars, Bilstein HD's all around, and I plan to have the suspension setup to 25.5" up front and 25" in the rear (I recall someone saying you want the rears 1/2 and inch lower than the fronts). So keeping all this information in mind, I have two questions:

1) what do you think of my ride height setting
2) what would you suggest for front and rear toe, camber, and caster?

Thanks!

If you only drive it on the street, use the factory settings.

Cheers

take it to Performance Art in Gilroy (the 911 guy from Custom Alignment went there is what I heard) and have the 911 guy (Dave?) suggest depending on what you want to do with the car. I have -0.9 degrees in the front and I think -1.9degrees on the back and the tire wear has been even over 3-4 sets of tires on street, track and AX... I'm not sure what toe I'm running... for the front run min. toe.. not sure about the rear. The front caster I don't think is hugely adjustable for a stock top of shock adjustment car.. if you have plates then I guess it could be.
