Another alignment question.

[hpmachine]

So I just did the suspension in my car. I did nearly everything and it's all adjustable. Coilovers with camber plates, tie rods, tension rods control arms etc etc. I've gotta get it aligned now. At this point the car is lowered about 2.25" up front and 1.75" (past stock height) out back. I'm expecting things to settle another .5" or so. I'm not looking for anything aggressive. Just decent response. What alignment specs should I shoot for? Oh yeah... I'm running 17x8 all the way around with 235/45's

Read the attention sticky and then we can work from there. Also if you lowered the car THAT much...check the angle of the arms to the subframe and frame...I bet you'll be into negative negative camber gain by now - esspecially if it settles more.

Ok well I think what I'd like to do is run a slightly aggressive but basically stock setup here goes my educated guess -Front Camber -1.25Front Caster 7.5 (possibly max it out?)Front Toe 0

Rear Camber -1Rear toe 0

If I'm understanding this right, it should be slightly more responsive than stock and I won't be going through a lot of tires. And I also believe that it will be possible to retain these settings even with the car lowered 2.5" because of all the adjustable parts. Am I close???

you never read the sticky.....

tell me what you plan on doing with the car, what you'vee done to it (you said you have adjustable everything), etc....what are your goals? And what tires do you have?

but those aren't bad figures to start from if you're looking for a basic setup - i'd still check your arm angles.
