REX is lowered extremely but..need advice on alignment

my front is too the point where i barely tuck tire... stock tire size mind you. Well the rear has massive negative camber from lowering the car. (top of the tires/rim are pointing in) What would be a good camber alignment so i cannot go and buy another set of tires again but yet still have some spirited driving...


Thanks everybody

hmmm, my suggestion since tire wear seems to be important to you, yet you want spirited driving is.......

Front camber: -1
Rear camber: -1.5

Rear Toe: 0
Front Toe: 1/32" toe out on either side for a total of 1/16" toe out in the front

Caster: 6.5



Other people, who are probably more educated on the matter than me, feel free to chime in.

On another note, there are quite a few threads with all this info AND more regarding alignment. Search is ALWAyS your friend. Now be thankful for my post since its thanksgiving kthnxbai

No trust me i loveee the search button I just found way too many opinons on the fact reguading alignments.


So i guess if I take these numbers with configurations and give them to the tech... he should be able to do his magic...?



Thanks

I'd run 1-1.5 neg in the front with 0 toe and about 6-7 caster
and -1 in the rear with a bit 1/32-1/16 toe in

If your really slammed...you won't be able to go that low...so you will likely have to decrease it as much as you can in the rear...and stay a bit less than the front if you can.

This is a street alignment by the way!
