Just have them set it up to OEM specs for FR Toe and Rear toe/camber. The difference in specs for rwd vs awd is negligible - basically slightly less rr camber (by like 0.1 degree). Toe spec is the same.
Front caster/camber can’t be adjusted so it basically is what it is. Should be with-in 0.5 degrees side to side. |

The front coilovers have camber adjustments. Was wondering what setup people have run on their car for street use. If just keep it stock alignment or if there was a custom setup that works better for more aggressive driving. Good to know about the AWD and rwd specs I can tell the shop that. I've had it aligned before at an aftermarket shop before but getting some bad tire wear in the rear. Looks to be toed in to much and I just lowered it more so wanna get the alignment checked again.

For street driving the oe specs are fine IMO. And basically be the best for stability and tire wear.
You can adjust front toe to be more neutral, or even toe-out for a change in turn-in response in exchange for stability at speed and the car wanting to follow road features a bit more. You can dial in more camber, especially in the front, for better grip in cornering, and reduced understeer at the expense of tire wear. It all depends on what you want, and what you want to sacrifice. My setup for autocross is Fr camber -3 degrees Rr camber -2 degrees Fr toe out 0.4 degrees total Rear toe in 0.1 degree total A more street friendly setup might be Fr camber -1 or 1.5 degree Rr camber -1.5 (oe) or 2 degree Fr toe in 0.1 total Rr toe in in 0.2 total The more aggressive you go the faster tires will wear. Rotate tires fairly often of you can. Generally for track set ups you target about 1 degree more negative camber in the fr vs the rear. |
