my fronts and rears wear evenly. -1.8, 0 toe f and -2.0, .16 toe r Just drive the car as it was intended to get the best wear on the fronts

You said you got an alignment...what were the specs on that alignment?

My fronts still look almost new, had them rotated anyway though. The rears really needed it. It's looking like it might be one more set of rears before I do all 4 and switch to the Bridgestones.

I honestly don't remember anymore. I'm pretty sure I found the recommended settings on here, printed them and gave them to the shop I went to.

Speaking of that, should I do that when I get it done again at performance chassis?

Do you usually tell them what alignment specs to use, or do they already know whats best for our cars?

Depends what you want out of the car, you want tire life or performance or somewhere in the middle? It depends on your preference and what tires you decide to run.

Fair enough.

I still haven't tried autocrossing, but am hoping to by the end of the summer.

Back when I was autocrossing the car I had the alignment shop do custom specs. I can't remember the specific toe settings but I had slight toe out in the front, slight toe in in the rear, -2.0 camber in the rear, -1.5 camber in the front, and 6.0 caster in the front. Handled like it was psychic but ate the inside edge of tires pretty quick.
