Camber set at -2, Caster set at +6. Toe is zero to slightly in. The front feels great. Even on the street. Tire wear is like the stock settings so far. This is with the Hotchkis bar in front.

With what you want to do with two different alignment setting. Your toe WILL change will each setting. Also your caster will change too, if you only move one adjuster.
I plan to dial both to get Camber. (like x turns on each to dial in then x turns to dial out). I'm thinking 2 degrees or so track, one degree street. stock toe in for both street and track. (which means x turns on toe adjustment as well... I have no idea which way)

I will definitely anti seize the adjuster screws.

Did you guys count threads or anything when "stock adjusting" your setup. Without diving in yet, I'm thinking thread counting might be a good way to record and switch back and forth between setups. I'm hoping this is a quick adjustment I can do when I'm swapping in and out my track pads and track wheels. Maybe I can even do it at the track in the am before I start lapping?

I bought the more expensive SPL arms specifically because they looked easy to accurately adjust on the fly. Was I right?
