Whatever it is. As long as it holds its setting it doesn;t matter what brand. Mine's set at -1, and you want your front camber more than your rear. Mine currently isn't, but when the season heats up, I'm going to -1.5 front, -1 rear, 0 toe all around. A little camber won't ruin your tires much as long as your toe is 0 or nearly 0

I'm with Boilermaker on this one, Camber will eat tires much slower then toe settings.

on a side note, Boilermaker... you may want to fiddle around with the rear toe settings and see what happens (handling wise) First time we took out the new 89 it had 0 toe all the way around... and it was the best drift car at the event. now we have an 8th inch toe in at the back and the car is much more civil.

^^^ duly noted. I had my own little Initial D impression last time. I thought it was because I had the tires pumped up too much.

my car seems to want to drift with these eibach sways... but my guess its the combo of that and the alignment being a little bit off... so you all seem to think -1 in the rear and -1.5 in the front with 0 toe all around is the best set-up... (getting mine aligned next week possibly)

I have -2.0 degrees camber up front and -1.0 degrees camber in back. Zero toe all around. It used to be set at -0.8 camber front and -1.8 camber rear. The front tires roll alot less!
