Default Best street alignment specs

Hey Guys,

When I replace tires, I'd like to get the car aligned too and wonder what's the best street alignment, one that's good for some spirited driving while staying easy on the tires. I usually drive 2-3,000 miles/year
Thanks

This is how my car has been aligned by a shop that manages the street Porsche's as well as the cup cars. I have been quite pleased with his alignments in the past but since he's quite a distance from me, I have to get it done locally. I am still looking for his past alignment print outs but here's what he recommended, Don't think it's too far off from the ^ specs

Frt
Camber: -.5
Castor: +4.4
Toe: +10 minutes per side

Rr:
Camber: -1.3
Toe: +20 minutes per side

Any feed back

With 2 jackstands, fishing line and a Longacre camber/caster gauge you can do your own alignments.
The advantages are you set up your car the way you want it and you save a lot of money.

Yes, you could do that too but be forewarned: the driving season is shorter at this latitude
