How about these specs?

I'm on the way to the alignment shop myself this afternoon - how about these specs?

Toe: F -1/32" R -1/16"

Camber: F -2.00" R -1.50"

More negative camber in front than in back?

Mine is set up this way too. RS struts allowed for almost 3 degrees of negative front camber. In the rear all we could get was 1.5 degrees of negative camber. This was setup for AX with no compromise considered for street tire wear.

With respect to all variables, driver preference, T bars, size tires, shocks my car still required an adjustment to the rear sway bar to get more steering into the car.

More negative camber will obviously wear the inside edges of your street tires out quicker but in theory it should give you a better contact patch when racing with slicks.

Wonder what the specs are on Mr. Wells Solo winning 911?

Sorry, I typo'd when I posted that. I didn't even catch it until the guy was writing up the service order! I ended up with 1.8 front and 2.2 rear

Thom are these the same specs you always run and was this just your annual alignment?

I had to align it because I just corner balanced it. Previously, I went with -1.25 front camber and -1.5 rear.
