Default alignment time - ap1

about the car
ap1
eibach front and rear sway bars
js racing camber adjustment kit for rear
buddy club camber adjusting ball joints for front
billstein pss9 coilovers
running one finger gap in rear and no gap in front currently
running 17 x 9 1/2" volk ce28rt offset i think is 39. running 255 on all four corners.
downforce front fenders
rear fenders have been rolled professionally - flat with no major pulling. going to shave the bumper and relocate the tab this weekend.

so ive looked and searched for info on alignment specs.gathered an average camber of 2 to 3 front and rear and other then that it becomes a pissing match of suspension dynamics and words i cant pronounce. so please help me keep it simple. im not into camber cars and realize im stuffing a lot of wheel back there. the car is not currently tracked but may be one day. i drive the car occasionally on the weekends and gets pushed a bit from time to time. im no pro drifter or race car driver so i dont need the top speed challenge spec.. looking for knowledge so i can tell my shop what i want. thanks for any input of specs.

Enough camber to make the wheels fit. Factory toe spec. As close as you can get to factory caster spec.

so in case anybody cares heres an update

i trimmed the bumper and the tab no rubbing in the back at all.
even after alignment still rubbing at hard dips or turns with a dip or bank in the front-
trying to figure out what to do as of now. the shop told me to raise it up as i have zero gap up front and one finger in the rear.
i dont wanna raise it but if i need to raise it to avoid destroying my fenders and wheels i will. here are the specs after the alignment

lf rf
camber -2.8 -2.9
caster 5.8 5.8
toe -0.01 0.0

lr rr
camber -3.8 -3.8
toe 0.18 0.17

Where are you rubbing? Front and rear tabs on the downforce fenders? Raise it up about a 3/8 of an inch and trim the tabs off front and rear and you should be ok
