Front left: 0.01 Toe
Front Right: 1.45 camber
Front Right: 0.05 toe
Rear Left: 1.35 camber
Rear Left: 0.04 Toe
Rear Right: 1.32 camber
Rear Right: 0.03 Toe
Front Total Toe: 0.08

My settings are pretty similar to the above, with a little more camber, 1.6 and 1.5 rear but less toe at the rear than the front.. that looks a little round the wrong way.. (mind you those are 100ths of a degree!)

Ryans settings above don't include castor, just run as much of it as you can get at the front.

What do you guys think of the caster mod ?? Where you spin around the bar 180 on the end of the wish bone.. where the anti lift kit would normally go. Meant to give an extra 5 if castor

What E said Is about right, if you can get the castor mod done then bonus! check arch liner clearances if you run oversize wheels

You want as much NEGATIVE camber as you can get from the front camber bolts. This is normally about -1.4.
Rear camber isn't adjustable but a good shove of the top of the wheel with loose strut/hub bolts should get you the right side of -1.

You won't get much more unless the car is jacked, everything loosened, including swing arms and bushes. Then dropped back down, settled and tightened.

Liner wear has occurred with some members but I put that down to part aggressive camber, part oversized tyres and very much part of the Carousel in Germany

So you think neg camber and toe will not cause excessive uneven tyre wear

You'll be fine on your tyres.
I wouldn't recommend running more than -1.45 for standard road use.
Subaru settings are around 0 to -1 IIRC.

Various schools of thought on rear camber bolts, I have been told (by a set up specialist) that in the dry rear camber bolts can help,
but in the wet the standard set up is better, for this reason Ive not bothered with rear camber bolts.

Lots of these things come down to personal choice, individual driving styles and abilities.

The above settings I posted came direct from RCM..

Front Toe - 0.06 in
Rear Toe - 0.10 in

What do you guys think of thses setting

-1.5 degrees front
-1.2 rear

.3 differential so if -1.4 go -1.1 etc.


3 mins of toe in per corner in front....or .05 degrees.

6 min total toe in on front axel ....or .1 degrees!!!

Run nearly double that on rear


I.e. 12 min total toe etc
