Going for alignment tomorrow.. hows this look? (+ ? for steve)

It's been over a week of hard driving and hammering through tight twisty roads to get the coilovers to settle. Final ride height is set. The rear is the same as with my eibachs and the front is slightly lower (I had reverse rake before). We garage set toe and camber (kinda) so I wouldn't have weird tire wear during break-in, and tomorrow it will be professionally aligned at a shop that does high end sports and race cars and a good bit of the work for matrix.

I'm shooting for the following

front camber: -1.0
front toe: 0 (steve, you made a post that said neutral.. I'm assuming this means 0?)

rear camber: -1.6
rear toe: 0 to 1/16th in total

Does this sound good?

Looks good to me!...>>

Keep a smidge of toe-in in the rear as the car will be a bit more stable that way..

I would say more front camber >

the toe could be tweaked slightly in and it won't kill you (jk!) but will lessen tire wear slightly, presuming you add more front camber.

Corner balancing?

I'm not sure he does corner balancing.

I'm not going to be too worried about it though as the car will never see a track and I don't push it too hard while out playing. I just drive at a comfortable pace.
