I would go with more front camber, less rear camber, and zero toe on all 4 corners. With that setup you are going to wear the inside edge of your rear tires during normal driving and if you take any corners agressively you will wear the outside edge of your front tires.

Caster is OK, should be more on right than left for road crown.

Front camber should be -1.0* and the toe should be in -0.01" each side

Rear camber should be -.5* or -1.0* max and toe should be in -0.01" each side

I usually set the rally car up with -1.5~-2.0* camber in the front and toed in 2 mm total, and -1.5* camber rear and toed in 2mm... this gives the car a stable nuetral feeling and helps turn in... just my basic set up opinion...

The basic camber settings will be ok, the rear toe has me concerned... I prefer on street cars to have the toe in as minimal as possible, regardless of what the machine says... you can cause the rear tires to wear the outer edges with too much toe in...

the evo service manual suggests


front camber either
-1.0 or -2.0

toe in should be 0 +/- .08 in

rear camber -1.0
rear toe in 0.12 +/- .07 in

Is that rear toe-in specs per side or total?

Thanks.
