For an advanced street alignment setting what do you guys suggest.

i'm not a pro but i hear a good idea is:
zero front tow-in for precise steering
one or two degrees of negative camber to help maximum cornering loads
i dont know about the rear settings or even if theye are adjustable.

RETed

1/16" total toe-in, front
-1 to -2 degrees camber, front

0 total toe-in, rear
0 to -1 degree camber, rear

That's for a high speed setting.&nbsp If you want better turn-in but sacrafice high speed stability, you can go 1/16" total toe-out, which is in fact the "autocross" alignment.

i notice that caster is not discussed. is caster adjustable on FCs? if so, what would be the effects of caster adjustments on performance, if any?

Caster is not really adjustable.&nbsp In fact, camber is not really adjustable either.&nbsp You can rotate the upper strut mounts up front to adjust camber and caster slightly.&nbsp Else, you'll need camber/caster plates up front to adjust more than that.&nbsp Same with rears - camber is not adjustable unless you get a rear camber adjustment rod.

I don't get real fussy about caster, as it depends on how your driving style is.&nbsp More caster - more self-alignment to center.&nbsp Less caster - faster turning response, but vague on self-centering.
