Alignment specs
So I'm getting an alignment this upcoming Friday and I'm wondering what are some good specs for a DD with occasional aggressive street driving.
I've looked around a bit and these are the number I've came up with. Are they good?
Max Caster
0 Toe all around
-2.0 Camber front
-1.5 Camber rear
These numbers can be achieved without camber bolts correct?

I need to go back in for mine- Do not like how the car handles with my currant settings.
I started a thread for people to post up different settings:

Unless your car is lowered or you already have some type of extra adjustments then you won't be able to achieve the -2.0 Camber up Front. The Max I've seen on stock adjustment for the Front (non-lowered) is around -1.5 Camber for the Front.
If you do have extra adjustment (Camber Plates, Camber Bolts, White Com C strut tops, etc) already on your car then yeah you should be able to achieve those numbers without too much of a problem.
Otherwise, I do run a pretty similar setup:
0 Toe all around
-1.8 Front Camber
-1.4 Rear Camber (I was more concerned about the rears being even than anything else)
I'm lowered on Swift Spec R's with Whiteline Com C tops up front and Camber Bolts in the Rear (again just to make sure everything is even in the rear). I still had plenty more room to adjust in the front, but didn't want too aggressive for the front since I DD my car and do mostly Freeway Driving. My tire wear is really even across the tires with this setup for what it's worth.

Oops forgot to mention my car is also lowered on RCE Yellows.
I'm thinking about getting camber bolts for the rear just in case but I don't know if I really need them.

I got the set of Ingalls from Summit Racing (Good Price & Free Hat with purchase.
).
