Allignment setups?

I am new to the BRZ and was looking on the forum to see if there were any aggressive alignment setups people were using. I couldn't find anything.

Coming from having a miata there are quite a few guys who tweak the alignments and get great results. Anyone?

Get great results of what?
Admittedly my alignment settings haven't attacked anybody so I guess they aren't too aggressive.
Before anyone can answer this question they will want to know what kind of driving you want to optimise the alignment for.

I'm getting very good results on my DD for twisty roads, spirited driving.

-2 Camber in front (Slotted holes with crash bolts, stock top hats)
-1.5 Camber in Rear with control arms and toe arms
18X9.5 on 245/35 tires.

Tucks nicely under my fenders, I'm dropped about 1.6 inches. Corners real well with the wide tires. Probably not the most performance oriented setup, but it's an awesome balance of looks and performance imo.

I'm running -2* all around with swift sport springs, 0 toe front, 1/16" toe in rear.

You don't need LCA's to get -2* in the rear with a ~1" drop, and my cross camber was within 0.1*. Other than springs my rear is 100% stock, even the toe bushings/arms. To get that much up front I'm running whiteline camber bolts and slotted upper holes in the stock struts.

you're not telling us you suspension/wheel/tire/power specs.

anyways, what i loved is when i was at -2.4 front camber with slight toe out and -1.5 rear camber with slight toe in. car feels fantastic and very neutral (which is how i like it to feel) its still tail happy but that takes more effort than before now. (which isn't a lot of effort at all really )

What coil overs are you using? I'm going for a similar setup.
