I've always heard great things about the uk alignment settings. -1 camber in the front, -2 camber in the rear. Max castor in the front. 0 toe in the front and .4 total on the rear.

front caster: 6.75'
front toe: 0
rear toe: 3mm per side or 6mm total or 1/4" total
front camber: -1
rear camber: -2


so basically the rear toe is .4 degrees right? and would this work on my 2003 stock suspension?

here is exactly what I run

front camber -1.6deg
Front Caster 5.8deg
Front toe 1/20th of a inch out (i knew the degree conversion but forgot)

rear camber -2.2deg
rear toe just shy of 1/4th of an inch total toe in

if you search you can find the conversion for inches to degrees

I do autox and some twisties... the car feels much less tail happy and much more glued to the road, a whole new level of confidence and I am very happy with it. this is on the stock 2001 suspension

im thinking if i should go as follows:

front caster: 6.75
front camber: -1.5
front toe= 0

rear toe= .4
rear camber= -2.2

would this be a good setup for an 03? i just want the best handling car i can get out of the stock suspension. ide rather sacrafice a few miles on the tires and have awesome handling.
