And just to be clear (since I am soooo not an alignment guy!), what would that be "numbers" wise in those boxes? As in "max camber would be -0.6" or whatever that number should be...?

So if I were you, I'd try to go for the max camber possible that will still allow consistent left/right toe to be set relative to one another.

There is no definite/specific max camber amount. This will be a balancing act and be purely driven by how much camber he can get away with before toe falls out of the acceptable limit.

This is one of the limits of a street car as not everything is infinitely adjustable. Race cars have many more adjustable components where these limitations don't really become issues.

Gotcha!

So I will bring this back today (finally back in town) and have them get the numbers a bit closer to the "wont kill your tires as quickly" specs!

Thanks all!
