93 FD Alignment Settings

Can someone post some good alignment settings for street and/or autocross? I looked on Pettit Racing website, but I can't make heads or tails of that info... thanks in advance.

BTW, I need them before Saturday morning.

There's a better shot of the Pettit specs.

What size wheels do you have?

For 16", I think Pettit's long track specs are really, really good for a daily driven car that occasionally sees the track.

For 17" and 18", they are too conservative with the camber.

Since I now have 18" wheels, my new specs are:

front:
-1 camber, 1/32" toe-in, 7 degrees caster

rear:
-0.5 camber, 0 toe

Reza, your settings are way too extreme for daily driving, that's for sure.
