whatever, get a tad more negative camber in front. And a tad less negative camber in rear. And as much positive castor up front if possible.

I have the Flex. Here are my settings.

Front

With the Tein Flex camber plates set to full positive, the camber is set to -1. By doing this you can set your camber to -6 if you want on the stock bolt holes.

Toe is set to -1 in the front

Rear

Camber: -.75

Toe: 0

We have found -1.5 degrees all around works well as a compromise between good turn in, good rear end stability in fast sweepers, and still not extreme enough to induce poor tire wear 9though your mileage may vary!)

You should let things settle for around 300-400 miles before aligning it all, and while on the rack, go over everything and check torque specs to be sure.

I tend to like a tad of toe out on front, but it all depends what you use the car for. Not sure what else is adjustable on the car from the factory.
