Default Alignment

Hello, I recently installed HKS Hipermax coilovers and New Toyo T1-R tires on AP2 wheels. I'm going in for an alignment tonight or Monday. I have read many threads about alignments so let me see if I've got it right. I want a pretty aggressive street setup for mountain runs, track. Obviously not a race setup though.

Front: Camber -2
Max caster?
0 toe

Rear: Camber -1.75
1/4 toe?

How does this sound for a spirited setup. I hate understeer btw.

Thanks in advance!

1/4" total rear toe (~.6 degrees total) is a little much if you hate understeer. Try 1/8" total. (~0.3 degrees total).

I would also go with more rear camber, at least 2 - 2.25. If you're worried about understeer, bump front camber up to ~2.5 (if you can get it).
