But the camber plates will be fine. Perfection is hypothetical, real world is complicated.

You can start off with F: -3.0 R: -2.7 0 toe all around. It's only a starting point and I would adjust from there to match your driving style. If you don't have rear LCA the recommended drop in ride height should get you close to -2.7 in the rear. I personally run F: -3.5 R:-2.5 0 toe but it's personal preference.

I'm guessing you're doing 86 Cup next year? See you at the track
thats about what i was thinking on the upper end for me so its good to hear. ive also got some lcas too. i may or may not do the 86cup. ive got a half dozen prepaid with xtreme speed im trying to burn through.

so you rotate the plate like an entire 120*? what kind of caster should i be aiming for?
thanks guys!
