I am going to get a alignment just put new ball joints and CC plates on. I am using this car for street/DD what should I tell them to set the toe at. I have been having some steering issues and they are just about 75-80% resolved since I installede the CC plates. I think the rest is in the toe. Guys have been telling me well its a 89 but you have 94 spindles so align it as if it was a 94 but then I hear no do totally the opposite.

I would have set the toe slightly in, like 1/8" total(1/16" per side). This will give you excellent itre wear and it should handle good as a daily driver.

Performance alignment. Get rid of the factory spec positive camber (causes understeer). Go for minimal toe in. Find a good alignment shop. Try –.5 to -2 deg camber, 1//16th toe-in.

the stock setting for 89 should be fine. what tires are you running? factory calls for -0.13 degrees on each side (dont quote me on that) which is negative toe which is toe-out slightly.
