I lowered my car with eibach pro kit and koni adustables and was wondering.....are there certain settings for camber, caster, toe??? I have a 95 gt vert with steeda CC plates and steeda bumpsteer kit. Does any one know of a good alignment shop around southeast VA....Virginia Beach, Hampton>>>
caster - as much as you can dial in on each side
camber - for an agressive street setting i would aim for ~ -1* on each side.
toe - stock, cant remember what it is set at
I'm looking for regular driveability....nothing fancy, i just dont want my tires to wear....which comes to my next point...I need to get new wheels and looking at getting possibly 18x9's. Will this change my alignment settings!!!
Mine's lowered with factory CC platers, and I had it set to -1.0° camber, non-adjustable caster, and +.25° toe after lowering. Maybe your thinking that the factory settings wouldn't stay within spec after it was lowered...

I wouldn't use factory settings on a lowered car -- it's going to behave differently (i.e. increased understeer), so I'd try to get the alignment optimized as much as possible. Factory is pretty conservative.

What settings should I be running for camber and toe on my 1 1/4" lowered GT? I can't adjust caster as I don't have CC plates. Are CC plates important to get so you can adjust caster on a lowered car? Does it really make a difference on a 100% driven street car, or is it one of those things that is just a tiny bit better, but blown out of porportion by internet myth? (like performance from motor mounts)
I would consider C/C plates more important for camber adjustment (when you can't dial in correct camber with the stock plates due to lowering), caster is a nice bonus (the factory caster settings frequently suck. My 94 GT had factory caster that was out of the "factory spec").
And I wouldn't discount the performance improvement from motor mounts . Fewer missed shifts!
