4th Generation Anybody running custom alignment settings

Just curious if anybody has any good numbers for a 98 camry.
Camber
Caster
Toe

I used to run about 1.75 degrees negative camber until I replaced all bushings and
struts now I'm running .7 . I don't think I like it though. Caster and toe are within
factory spec.

Thanks
Mac

Lightbulb All depends how often you want to replace...

Those are nice numbers (1.75) but are very hard on tires for a street driven (not road raced) car.

I can only invision about 2000 miles on a set of tires before the inside in blown away. But it would stick nicely in the corners for rr.

For street use I wouldn't go past -0.5 camber. And the weight bias of the camry, prob like -0.25 front and -0.5 back. Don't think you can do much with caster but if you add about a quarter more on the right, it well help it go straight on the crowned roads (more comfortable daily driver).

Most of us need a zero camber/zero toe to get mileage out of our tires.

Do tell us how you actually use the car.....

Regards,

Randy

I use the car for fun.
Just got done doing 300 or so miles of abuse.
The 1.75 with my old setup wich was only tokico
struts was fine on tires. I wore the outside just
as much as the inside.
Since I got rid of most of the rubber I figured
I'd go a bit less on negative camber but I'm
thinking after today 1.0 would be better on
my tires.

Thanks
Mac
