So I have H&R race springs 1.5" drop/ Tokico illuminas/ full sub frames/ rebuilt front arms with urethane bushings etc.

Time to go get an alignment after my new caster camber plate install.

Any recommended alignment settings? I want it to handle well around corners for mostly street driving. But i don't want uneven tread wear.

Any input appreciated

Thanks in advance
Chris

For me, every time I tried to use non-stock settings for caster & camber, I got uneven tire wear. So I just use the OEM specs now. You could probably get a better alignment if you had a bumpsteer kit and a bumpsteer alignment, but finding a shop that can do that is hard to find.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

If you buy the Caster/Camber plates from Steeda, they give you a chart with it for different alignment specs. The chart gives you different settings for more or less extreme handling. The first thing you want to ensure for good tire wear is that the Camber is at 0. Negative Camber gives you better handling, but eats up your tires quickly.
