Uggg, good luck with the rota's....

-1.5f, -1r camber; zero toe is a safe setup for a DD.

-2f, -1r camber; zero toe is good for aggressive street.

-2.5f or more will start to cause camber wear. Depends on if it'll see autocross/track.

Where you already aligned for the Swifts? Changing the tires does not change the alignment. The alignment is set at the hub.

Search my blog (in sig) and read the links in the first post on there - I have my Swift alignment setup in there.

Was aligned w/ the swifts ... just got the wheels on a couple hours ago... didnt get much driving time yet, but doesnt pull whatsoever.... seems okay... but i still feel like it need alignment... its not a dd, im lucky if i can get 500 miles on it in a month.... its going in in 2 days for align, ill see what its @ before they adjust... but id rather have it right and not worry about abnormal wear... never sees the track either... not yet @ least

i used to say the same thing. now after one track day im addicted. i was able to lap the track with some nice cars and stay right with them including a viper, new m3 and a 600whp twin turbo g35.

i ran quite a bit of camber at the track -2.5f and -1.5 rear which worked well for me. everyday driving im usually around -1.5/-2 f and -1 rear just to save the tires. ill leave it at the track settings for a couple of days and see how i like it on the street.
