    Alignment for street.

    Hello; We need more info like suspension setup and ride height. I like to use for street 1.5 deg. neg camber in the rear. 1.2 deg. neg front camber. Zero toe in the rear and just a little toe out in the front. This setup is for street use not much highway driving. If you do more highway driving set the front with a little toe in like 1/16 of toe per side. Thanks Eric

    I would keep a smidge of toe-in in the rear rather than zero.

    1 degree of rake is fine. Ride height is easiest to measure to the highest part of the fender lip from the ground, but that is not the way the factory specs it. Should be about 25" in the rear and 25.5" in front for "Euro" ride height, lower than that for a performance setup.
