I drive just as fast on the interstate in the pouring down Georgia/Florida heavy rain as I do when it is dry. This is when it is most noticeable to me.
Alright, I'm scheduling another alignment check at a different shop that's caters to preping cars for autocross events and what not. I'll get a print out this time and post it up here to see what you guys think about the settings.

Be sure they don't get crazy with the settings. In some cases a "autocross" setup implies you fudge up the standard alignment for faster steering and decreased roll in the rear. Do not let them go outside of .5 degrees (either direction) in the front and .3 degrees toe-in rear. You will kill your tires and most likely it will not benefit this car much.

As little camber in the rear, increase camber in the front.

You need a little more toe in. When your toe setting gets close to zero. The car will fell nervous. The faster you go, the worse it gets.
