Stock Alignment settings and what to run for track

Does anyone know what our stock alignment settings are?

I would like to add some negative camber to help out at the track and save the edges of my tires a bit. If anyone has any recommendations on what to run, please advise me. I have stock suspension and Dunlop SP SS Race 255/35/18 tires. I want it to still be streetable, so i can't go adding 3 degrees, or anything. Thanks a lot!

If you want the car to be used both on the track and on the street, you should stick to less than 2° camber fornt and back. Set Toe-in to a slightly negative value for the front and to 0 at the back. Thats what I would start from. Oh, btw: with this kind of setup, the car will be very little fun on the road.

i'm running -1.2 deg camber in the rear. After seeing how fast my stock tires wore out, I had it detuned in order to help the tires last longer.

So, you're running -1.2 in the rear AFTER the de-tune? What were you running before? What are you running in front? What's your toe setting?
