DRIFTERS:Gen3 Drift Alignment Survey
Here's the scoop: I used to have a gen2 rx7. Fell in love, knew everything about a rotary, mastered the science, you know... that old chestnut. Wrecked it 7 months later and cried for weeks. Now I am in persuit of a gen3 to continue the legacy of the car that I love, for use as a drifter, capable of 1/4miling, and daily driving. I'm trying to formulate the perfect alignment setup for the rx7 that would suit all three uses.
Which brings me to the question at hand: What is the best combination of camber caster and toe to optimize the performance of 1 car for three purposes?
(I know... I should so be looking at adjustable components, right?)

My alignment is setup strictly for the track but in return I eat street tires twice as fast as I should. There's no free lunch.

That fact that you even made this comment means you don't understand my question. Optimizing alignment for three purposes doesn't mean that I want a super-macho drift setup that's PERFECT for sunday driving. I am simply asking how much of each unit I would compromise by trying to fit drift/drag/street all into one setup. So let me spell this out: I will sacrafice as much drift-style suspension as is necessary to be able to drive my car around town, as much as I will sacrafice any semblance of a smooth daily driver to have a few extra points towards drifting.
This concludes "Simple Everyday Speech" 101. *** dismissed.
