The correct alignment will have the greatest affect over how soft or firm the stearing feels. Id get a real alignment done first (no not at joes tires).

You may want to look at a Cusco lower arm brace. Firms up chassis and steering nicely.

It depends on your driving conditions. Personally I wouldnt follow most of the recomendations on the club unless the person really competes (not just an ocasional weekend autocross). A real alignment shop intended for performance should conduct and "interview" and determine the most likely best specs.
Personally? I have a legacy and my most recent alignment (in short) was -1.3 camber front 0.01 toe front 2.1 caster -0.3 camber rear 0.01 toe rear all but 2 (within 1/100 of a degree) spec was perfect side to side match and a perfect 0 thrush angle. This made as much difference or possible more than when I switched from 185 70 14 wal mart tires to 205 50 16 kuhmo's |
