I'll prob need front arms. At -2.5 and -1.5 with 1/8th toe out in front and 1/8th toe-in for rear. Casters only 5.4. I'm worried about my RS-3's for DD. From what everyone told me I can back camber down and caster up and achieve the same goal. So maybe I'll shoot for like -2.0 or lower with like 6-6.5 caster. Save the tires.

As for sways I have whiteline front set to full hard and stock rear with 18k/12k coils and still don't think I have enough front. A bigger front sway is next then going up on springs.

I'm running -2.1 / -1.6, ill have to check toe/caster. I drive on RS-3's daily and R888 for the track (RS3 or R888 for autox). Those coils are crazy stiff syno!! How does it feel? Just got my car corner balanced and it feels incredible. Running KW V3's. First event on this setup this sunday.

Doesn't feel stiff. Fronts at like 7 clicks hard and rears like 4. I just read though I guess Stance does zero though in the middle? So 7 may not be stuff enough. Car still drives almost like oem. A little stiffer and more bounce hitting bumps on the highway but that could be the rebound setting too. Fronts like 5 and rears like 4. I have no idea how to set it though. I still think plus 20k will be best since the Z's front is so heavy.

-3.2 and 1.8 in rear 0 toe upfront and 1/32 or so toe in the rear, no wear camber on tire it's mostly toe that destroys your tires, you can always mount and reverse mount the rs3 just keep it directional if u drive on the rain or just be careful

The front with the Hotchkis bar, camber at -2, caster at +6, and toe at zero is great.

Apologise to bring this again, but for the same question which is a combination weekend cruising and track days, is this one here is enough.
I have SPL front arm and Z1 arms in rear. Also hotchkis bar in front. Rear bar is stock.
Tiers are Michelin ps4s on nismo wheels 19.

Is -1.5 rear and -2 front will be good? And both toe at zero. What about caster?

Appre your reply guys, because our track days will start soon.

Alignment for a DD and track?
 
Camber doesn’t matter as much as you think. 2° is totally fine. As long as your toe is within OEM spec, you shouldn’t have any kind of abnormal wear. “Aggressive” toe WILL burn through tires though. Ask me how I know…
