Default Wheel Alignment question

Hey there everyone! Got a quick question. First off, is there anyone out there running Ground Control Coilovers on their cars? And if so, what kind of alignment settings did you get, or tell them to use, when you took your car for an alignment? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Bill

don't have ground controls, but alignment settings are probably better classified as mostly highway, street, or track/auto-x, as opposed to which spring/strut you have. i'm about half highway/city, running -1.3 camber in front, -1.1 camber in rear with camber bolts, 0 toe all around. i'm getting excellent tire wear and the car handles great.

You're right. This would be a better way to ask this question. Alrighty then, I would be looking for street/track.....Car doesn't really see much highway usage anymore.

you'll probably want as much negative camber as you can get with the eccentric bolts, should be able ot get -1.5. if you want more than that, you need camber adjustable strut tops. rear camber you should get camber bolts to lower it from the factory setting, i got mine down to -1.1. toe there are a lot of opinions about it, but basically toe out in the rear helps the car rotate, toe in at the rear helps stabilize the car. i would go with either 0 toe, or something like 1/16th toe out. you can do a search to find some more toe answers.
