I'm currently on stock struts/swift springs. I'm running r-comp Tires(maxis rc-1), 285 all the way around. I just installed all SPL arms front and rear, and locked out the cam bolts and did SPC toe bolts.

I'm thinking of running 2.7 front, 1.9 rear, 0 toe all the way around and -5 caster front. Wondering what your opinions are on this?

I know I could do more but the car does daily about 30 miles round trip 5 days a week so I know I have to make some compromises.

Thanks in advance for any help.
On an R-compound tire you are going to need at least -2.5 in my opinion. Or run higher pressures to make it happen. The toe settings for me vary based on the track, but I have around 500hp.

My specs are as follows, mostly track/some street driving:

FRONT
-2.75* camber, I would run 3 if tire wear were irrelevant.
6* caster
0 toe

REAR
-1.9* camber
1/8 total toe in, helps tremendously with putting power down.

I run 3/8 rake most of the time, nice entry rotation and plants well on throttle.

If you run a stock differential, I would recommend a higher static camber setting and less caster. Caster causing jacking during cornering which will unload the rear inside tire, causing even more inside wheel spin.

Hope that helps!
