I'm planning to DIY fix my front camber and possibly toe using this online tutorial.

I have to fix my rear camber now too because the new wheels make the camber more visible that it's too far off at -1.5*

I've read quite a lot of threads on here and on other websites and I am going to be adjusting for toe out in front, and 0 toe in the rear. probably 1.2 neg camber in the front and .8 neg in the rear.

Just wanted to see what you thought about this. AutoX and road race GURU's please add your thoughts.

Also any other tips about DIY alignment would be great. I just bought a level and digital dial calipers today.I'm lookin to plan for the weekend what specs i want to run.

Last question, is the stock front toe in or out? My car is aligned at factory specs at the moment.

for the best autocross setup, 3 degrees of camber al around, 1/8" toe out int he rear and 1/8" toe in up front, and mas the caster, beyond that, get an infared thermometer and measure temps across the tire as soon as you come off course, the idea is to get the tems as even across the surface fo the tire
