35mm sway, Koni S/A's lowered 3/4 in front and heater hose mod in back. Stock SS springs on the koni's. It's not a drag car...daily driver and sometimes autoX car. 275/40's all the way around. I just put the Koni's in at full soft in rear (due to PHB and LCA's being on the car) and 3 window turns from full soft in front. Thanks!

agree with the above statement.
Note that the difference in toe from left to right is to compensate for your weight when you are in teh vehicle.
I do my alignments inside the car, so the weight is with me in it, and make it equal on both sides then... just ask your alignment person.
For starters:
camber: -0.5'
castor: +4.5' on both sides (with you in it)
toe: start with 0" or a bit of toe-out
note that toe-out is great for steering response and auto-x, but affects tire-wear and high speed stability... toe-in will give a bit of high speed stability and less of a highly responsive steering... hence the reason for starting @ 0 toe and go from there.
Also, if by any chance, you can't get these #s, try going to +4.5 castor and as much negative camber as you can... but you should be able to with the Koni SA, if you used the lower perch location.
