Getting ready to take my G35 Coupe in for another alignment...

Previously, I had it aligned to factory spec.

However, with all the mods to it, and the fact that I use it for track events, I'd like to have a performance alignment done (I switch out to track wheels with R-compounds for track days).

What are people setting camber and toe at for track use?

I'll probably stay somewhere between full-on track settings and street settings (don't need to destroy $1400 in tires any quicker than necessary).

I know a lot of people running around -2 on the camber. They say its a pretty reasonable "between" setting without destroying the tires too quickly.

If your car has a tendency to oversteer, you may want to have a little extra toe on your front, and a little extra camber on the rear. If you're doing lots of low speed turns, because of the FM chassis balance, keep rear toe close to stock. Thats all I know...
