Im going to get a 4 wheel alignment this week and want to have a setup that will be good for hard performance driving and wont eat up tires too quickly. Its a Daily Driver and twice a month Auto-Xer. I know that some neg rear camber would be good for the corners, but I dont want to eat tires unevenly too quick with the rears like this / \

Thanks-Mike

factory settings work fine. but if you want to have some fun with it, i have mine set to 0 toe in the front. it turns in quicker and the rear end comes out easier on sweepers. since you don't have camber plates up front you won't be able to do anything to the camber there, don't worry, it's probably about right for what you want to do anyway (probably about 1.8 deg). i would run a little less in the rear, 1.5-1.3 deg. you can make some minor adjustments in balance by changine the air pressure front to rear also.

a basic alignment shop probably won't adjust your RUCAs or they will charge extra, and they won't really know what they are doing. try to find a race alignment shop like this one in austin, http://www.soulspeed.com/. they will probably give you better advice than anyone on this board.

National Tire and battery has no problem with aligning my car, even with RUCAS. I just ask for the service tech to come and get me when he starts on my car, and when it comes time for him to do the rear camber, I grab the 3 wrenches from my car, and do it myself.

You just have to find a friendly shop.
