HELP! need suggestion on alignment choice.

I'm installing the buddy club racing spec coilovers along with the whiteline front roll center kit.

what should I ask for when I get the car aligned?????

I'm going to do maybe 6 track days this year and perhaps 10K miles on the street.

it's a 2003 evo if that matters.

If you do a lot of highway commuting, you might wanna set the front
camber @ -1.5

I was running -2.o f -1.0 rear before my coilovers. With minimal toe on the front, I put 15,000 miles on a set bfg gforce sport tires and still have another 5,000 left of them easy.

Toe affects tire wear more than reasonable negative camber

After doing my KW's I'm now running -2.0 f and -1.3 rear (rear tires were showing outer edge wear after my last track day hence we added a little more negative camber on the rear.

Again fronts look great after 15K street miles with -2f with minimal toe.
