Hi all
Just want to ask you guys for suggestions on wheel alignment settings.
Hotchkis camber plates have a suggestion when using their product but don’t specify what wheels and suspension upgrades.
Their suggestion is the following:

1979-1993
Toe: 1/16" IN Total Toe
Camber: ½ Degrees Negative
Caster: 2 Degrees Positive

My set up is as followed:
Tires 245/45/17 on 17x9 wheels all 4
Eibach sportsline lowering springs
J&M tubular/polyurethane lower cell arms
Front lower control arm polyurethane bushings
Bilstein HD struts
Solid offset rack & pinion mushing
Polyurethane sway bar and end links bushings
Upgraded steering shaft with U-joints knuckle
And Hotchkis caster/camber plates with spherical bearings.

I’m not doing any hard cornering only open highway and city driving.
It should be ok with 1/16” Negative toe and 0.5 degrees negative camber. What about Caster?

Stock alignment with stock tires and suspension is:
Toe: 0.12 Inches negative
Camber: 0.60 Degrees negative
Caster: 1.90 Degrees positive
Steering axis inclination: 15.72 Degrees

Opinions/suggestions?
Thank you

If you are the only one in the car most of the time, have the alignment shop put your equivalent weight on the drivers seat to mimic the actual load the car sees while driving.
