Ideal Alignment and options
04 ap2 lowered 1 inch on tein springs
17x8 +48, 17x9 +44 wheels
225/45/17 front, 255/40/17 rear
stock sway bars/stock everything else
Current alignment
Front
-1.8 camber
stock caster
-.15 toe out
Rear
-2.5 camber
-.15 toe in
im gonna have buddy club race spes coilovers installed very soon, i know it depends on which settings i have but for now id like to get an idea of what alignments have worked for most ppl
Puporse- Aggressive street/backroad/occaisonal track (beginner) the stock alignment just doesnt seem to cut it for me even on the street
i like to dive into corners, Trailbrake and exit on full throttle. i do not like understeer
the car feels good now but want experienced opinions. my car is currently a more oversteery car. i know i can dial that out with either front and rear sway bars.
which sway bar to go with?
also which alignment to go with
for now ill have the staggered setup but by summer i will switch to non stagger 17x9 +44 all around with 255's. what alignment has worked for similar stagger and non staggerd setups.
all comments and opions apreciated.

This would be a good place to start.

Put your suspension on and then dial in your alignment and at that point figure out your sway bar situation and what you want from the car.

You forgot to explain your driving style is sideways half the time Alex
