Alignment recommendations for my setup?
 
I just wanted to ask the knowledgeable people around here, if when I get my alignment done in a week, should I just tell them to go with the OEM specs, or go a little more "aggressive" or outside the OEM specs for any of the settings?

I am on adjustable coilovers, LCAs and toe rods. My wheels are 18x9.5 +45 with 265/35 Pilot Sport Cup 2s all around. The car sees 95% street driving, a lot of it is "spirited" country road driving, rest is just city. There will a track day or two, but not more than that.

I think I've heard that a little more camber in the front than the OEM specs is a good idea, but can't remember exactly.

Your setup is fairly close to mine. Check this out : http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...postcount=2301

In the end I have -2° front camber, no abnormal wear on the tires. The car has superb handling.

I'd put negative camber 2-2.5deg front, 1.5-2deg rear. Regarding wear, it's usually toe that wears them down, camber - at way less rates. Speaking about toe, i'd put front 0, and slight toe-in in rear.

Thanks guys, I'll aim for at least -2 in the front and 1-5 in the rear then, thanks!

1.5, not till -5 :). It's just that most negative camber numbers i've seen posted are usually 0.5-1 less in rear, next thing is most dial in more neg. camber the heavier the track use is, with biggest numbers i usually seen for drifting. As you posted that it's mostly daily driven, imho no need for insane camber unless it's required to not rub for overly wide wheels-tires choice.

Haha of course, that was just me slipping on the keys it seems :)
