So you're saying -2 camber, zero toe, and my caster at -6 would be about right? The rear, I'm not touching. I know how aggressive the camber is back there.

yes for the front that would be good. In the rear set the toe at zero also, ive experimented in the past with slight toe in for high speed sweeper stability, but the rear suspension toe's in under compression as well, so when i tried zero out back it was still fine in the sweepers but had slightly less understeer in the slower corners. Also the factory rear camber setting i think it around -2, if you can get less then that while still getting the correct toe setting, do it.

Forgot about the tires and rims. Fronts are Mich PSS 275/35-19 on a 19x9.5.
The rears are Mich PSS 325/30-19 on 19x12.

I thought you needed a little toe in for the rear, because of snap over steer.

In the spring, I'm planning on doing the whole SPL parts in the rear. So, I'll take care of the rear then.

i noticed you have staggered sizes from your signiture, hence why i havent told you do ditch that rear hotchkis bar yet lol, day you go square, get rid of that thing!

early in tracking my 370 i played it safe too with the mild toe in, but like i said, dynamically when the rear suspension compresses, it gain's toe in, ive been running on zero rear for a while now and its not by anymeans loose and i run 285 square
