What kind of sway bar set up do you have?
I personally prefer a bit more camber up front. I run about -1.8 up front and -1.3 in the rear. I have 27mm in the rear and 24mm in the front sways. I like a pretty neutral car that's tight enough that I can get lift oversteer.
If you don't want to raise the front number too much I'd drop the rear number.
I'd try to get something like -1.5 up front and -1 in the rear. That's a pretty nice mellow set up for a daily driver that won't chew up your tires.
But that's just me. (and a lot of others, LOL! Give the alignment settings threads on nasioc a read). And I drive a wagon so I don't have the benefit of DCCD
Ok. thanks again guys. Yeah after saying the cars all done and handing me the sheet he acted very surprised when I asked if the fronts could be made to match. He said sure he'd just have to adjust it more. Then I saw him adjusting the wrong side out more and thought oh man. Finally when all said it done it was off by .1 meh total amateur hour. Also the rears he said are not adjustable after taking out the bolt, but after doing so I saw took another peek at the screen noticing he'd pushed that side even farther away from the other. I have front and rear sways but very mild sizes. Also have x-brace which is awesomeeee, and the lower front brace for cross member, and of course the strut tower brace lol.
Those specs are fine, -1 in front is all you need for a daily driver. Rear camber isn't adjustable unless you buy aftermarket camber bolts. My specs are almost the same.

My wagon specs are similar and I dislike it. Too much understeer. Here is a link to a thread I started on the same subject. https://www.i-club.com/forums/suspen...ost-em-233001/

Would love to get some comparison. I have been waiting to re-do the alignment until I need new tires. I am almost there!
