Default alingment numbers

Those of you with CC plates, what degree to you choose to set your caster and camber at?

That is about what mine is too w/o cc plates. I am mainly wondering if that -1* camber is what is eating the inside edge of my tires.

umm... that is not correct.

If your camber is zero at all times, then you will have even wear on the tire no mater what the toe is. Look here if you are interestedin learning about alignment.

Maximum Motorsports recommends
Caster 4.4* positive.
Camber .5* negative.
I agree with these specs.I've had no tire wear problems and these specs have made the car handle much better.
