Lowered AP2 alignment specs help.
Hey everyone,
I just picked up some new tires and need an alignment pretty bad, looks like the previous owner never got it done after they lowered the car.
Wheel, tire and suspension setup:
Front: 17x7.5 Enkei RPF1 225/45ZR-17 Sumitomo HTRZ III
Rear: 17x9 Enkei 255/40ZR-17 Sumitomo HTRZ III
Suspension: Koni yellows on skunk 2 springs (2.25'' drop)
I'm really looking for an "aggressive" look that will still handle well on the track, but i'm not interested in extreme camber and the whole "stance cambergang" bullshit, but I don't mind a little bit in the rear.
If anyone has any custom alignment specs recommendations (with pictures even) please help me out because I am at a total loss with this stuff.
Thanks!

Bump, any feedback?
Again, I'm looking for a good alignment mix between DD and a few days a year autocross.
The tires were put on yesterday and look great, but the car is pulling to the left.

Street/track alignment
-2.5° to -3.5° front camber
0° front toe
5.5° to 6.5° caster (most like a ton, I like as little as possible for lighter steering and, to me, better feel)
-2° to -3° rear camber
0.15° to 0.20° total rear toe-in
Have fun

- Max Camber @ max caster in front...end up with 2.5° at 6.8° (I guess more caster adds to dynamic camber in corners, to what degree I don't know)
- 3° in rear with 1/8" total toe
Before I was equal camber front / rear but I seemed to like having more camber in the rear as the car (or myself) was a bit faster....I had also added a big cheap front sway bar before the event so maybe that contributed as well, but the rear felt more planted in corners.
My advice would be to start with equal front / rear than tweak one or the other to see what you like.

This is fairly common approach I've seen around these parts, with a bit more camber in front than rear. My direction to alignment guy was:
- Max Camber @ max caster in front...end up with 2.5° at 6.8° (I guess more caster adds to dynamic camber in corners, to what degree I don't know)
- 3° in rear with 1/8" total toe

This is what I was looking for, not old shitty memes and salty posts.
