Alignment Questions? Help

8packMember

I need new set of front tires and I know that its time for an alignment so I decide that this is the week to knock it out.

The setup: 225/50r16 fronts and 335/35r17 rears with adjustable shocks, upper ball joint shimmed and a big block. The tires are very sticky and most of the road in my neighborhood are very twisty. I am not a real wild driver but I do get after it time to time and I plan on autocrossing it once or twice a year (Good Guys).

Front: My understanding is to set the Caster as pos as you can up to 5 Degrees (I think I can get up to 3 1/2). Camber neg 1/2 degree (spec is only up to -1/8) and toe-in ?? (I have seen 1/8 and 1/16 (spec is 1/8))

Rear: rear spec is Camber neg 3/8 to neg 5/8 and tow in 1/8 to 3/16 but I have seen people mention as little as neg 1/4 and zero toe for wide tires.

My car goes in on Thursday and any input would be helpful (ok most input will be helpful)

Thanks
