2-3 degrees towards the inside? I know positive camber helps cornering quite a bit...

What would you recommend front and rear? I want a good balance between tire wear and performance. Alignment happens tomorrow.

Minus 2 to 3 deg = Good bye tires (inner edges). Try -0.9 to -0.7 deg. More realistic.

The performance gains from a sporty alignment really just aren't worth it unless you enjoy buying new tires.

If it's truly worth the $$ to you then I would agree with stealer-hater, do a smaller degree, but I don't think it will be a difference you notice all that much, and these cars EAT tires when alignment is even a hair off.

Plan is foiled.

I can always do something before track days, correct? Jack the car up, and move the thread out a few turns. Then when I get back, move it back in the same amount, no?

Beyond 1.1 you will get inside tire wear, at 1.4neg, an S car front tire will last a couple thousand miles max. BTST.

IMS 1.1 neg is the low end of the factory spec. The key is to make all corners equal (IMO). If the best your alignment guy can get is .8neg on one of the corners, set all to that spec.

I asked for 0.9 degrees of negative camber. =D

I usually end up getting 1 set of tires a year, + 1 set every 3 years (snows). 0.9 shouldn't be too bad.
