Anyone deviating from factory alignment with stock suspension?

New tires go on Monday and alignment scheduled for Thursday. I've had great tire wear and plan to stick with the factory setup. Wondering if anyone has tweaked f/r toe and/or rear camber and like it better? Factory specs are very stable at high speed and car seems balanced on track. No plans for camber plates with my limited track days.

If you made a change you prefer, what was it?

Outside of toe and rear camber, not much there really. Curious if anyone figured out a better configuration.

Not much to be done on stock suspension, like Got f1? said.

I went with camber plates and rear toe rods (+ m performance HAS)

I would think -2.5 and -1.5 rear would be an awesome setup for a street driven car

If you can get there with the front

I know the rear can get to -2 from the factory.

I think the front is limited to -1.8.

It's not possible to get to -2,5 on stock car. I cant remember if 1,8 is possible or not, sounds rather a lot.

I added Vorshlag front camber plates and set the camber to -2.5, more so for tire wear as I was burning up the edges of my front tires.

How's it wearing on the street, or are you running a street setup?
