Just curious to see what others run in terms of ride height and camber settings etc for the street.

I found a handy camber gauge app for iPhone which works well. With my new adjustable lower arms, the minimum amount of negative camber I can achieve is -2 degrees. My car is also quite low. I note I have -.5 degree of negative camber on the rear wheels, not sure if I should increase that?

What do others run?

-1.5 to -2.0 deg is fine on the front, -0.5 to -1.0 is fine on the rear.

I run -1.5 front, -1.0 rear, and 2mm rear toe-in (for stability).

-1.0 at the rear is what I run. Some other factors come into play for the front, when running a hard wall tyre, I found -1.5 was the best, but on soft wall AO32R's I now run -2.5 to get the same handling as I did on -1/5 with A008's.

AO32R's on -1.5 felt slushy not very pointy. -2.5 will wear your tyres out faster too I think but for you and me Hanra (we'd both be lucky to run them more than 500miles per year) wear is a non issue!
