Default caster settings

i took my car to wheel works for an alignment today. they set the caster at 7.5, is that too much? the car feels ok to me.

other settings were:
Front-
camber: -1.1 left and right
toe: 0.00
caster: 7.5

Rear-
camber: -2.5 left and right
toe: 0.00

does everything else look good?

You sacrifice camber with that much caster. The choice is up to you and what you want.

.... but gain dynamic camber.

0.00 rear toe seems a bit out of order.

Typical settings range from .12 to .30 degrees of total toe in. You don't have to be confined by what others consider normal or acceptable though...

thanks. ill probably get the alignment redone after i lower the back a little bit.

im worried about excess tire wear from too much toe.

my camber settings are as least aggressive as possible right now with my spacers and ride height.
