I ran 2 degrees front for a few years. After switching back to .4 degrees it’s anazing how straight the car drives on the highway now, but more steering input is needed to get the car turning.

I always do 0 toe just because I drive on the streets 99% of the time. Sometimes tuner shops would do the whole rear toe thing in the rear but I never minded.
With less camber in the front I can let go of the steering wheel at 80+ mph and it’ll keep driving straight with less input than with the -2 degree setup. Initial steering also seems heavier but that’s probably due to the tire having more surface contact going straight. Heoever the car is not as fun on windy roads with less camber. I really have to turn the wheel to get the car to turn. |

Don't forget as well, I had SPC camber bolts up front, and SPC lower control arms in the rear in addition to the RCE Yellow Springs. Car was severely in need of an alignment after the parts install, especially the lower control arms, but luckily I work from home now so I don't need to drive the car on a daily basis. |
