do you have a photo of your car on -2.5 front an 2.0 just so i can get an idea of what the regular amount looks like

Here you go. This is -2.5 front -2.0 rear with a -1.5" drop. IMO a very good setup for street, autocross and occasional HPDE stuff.

If it's for track/autox use I would set by tire pyrometer and driver preference. Certain tire setup, suspension, build, etc will require different setups. Different tracks will require different setup as well but most people compromise and run the same settings for multiple uses.

yeah its mostly for daily driving ill probably end up going something more conservative like 2.5 in the front and 2.0 in the rear i just wanted a bit more of a stanced look but i dont want to go overboard

Well, that's how it came across. Sorry if I misunderstood. FYI that pic was taken on a very mild bank during steady state cornering. It really doesn't look much different on flat ground. Not that I give a crap about stance, it's just the way it ended up trying to find a compromise for daily driving and autocross.

It has been suggested that Australia was the 51st US state but I haven't read before that NY was part of Aus.

Sorry if it did, i was just actually laughing because a few posts back we were talking about how mcpherson strut loses camber under load.

Anyway, to contribute to the thread i just took this pic. Im estimating -3 because I adjusted it by eye after my camber plate slipped and i havent got a chance to align it again. Stock wheel and tire with 12mm spacer to clear my brakes.

That looks like more then -3 to me. My car is -3F, -2R and my fronts are not that far tilted in.
