Front end alignment

[Ccmano]

Does anyone now how many tenths of a degree of toe each full rotation of a tie rod equals?

For that matter, does anyone have recommended wheel alignment spec's that are a bit more agressive for road handling peformance? I'm not looking for autocross or road racing spec's. Just a more agressive road set up.

I found this... any comments?

For a ball park figure I used 1/4 turn=1/16" to get it close, I didn't measure in degrees for toe in. The rear seemed to be about 1/3 turn for 1/32", but that was just to get it close.

I went with the same website specs your looking at. The toe in on the rear helped mine a lot, feels like it's on a rail with no sway. Depending how many miles you drive, the more camber will help it stick in turns. Mine has 2.3 camber on the front and 1.4 on the rear with 0 toe on the front, and it handles a lot better than stock. But doesn't like to go in a straight line as easy but makes up for it in the curves. I don't put many miles on the road though.

I would probably start at the advanced street they are showing if you drive a lot, if it makes it too nervous afterwards, a little toe in would probably tame it down without doing a whole alignment again. I doubt if the -.25 camber on the front would be too noticeable on tire wear if you drive a lot.

The next challenge would be getting somebody to actually really get it set up that way, or do it yourself. A string setup can be just as accuate as all the laser stuff, found out it was just a lot of hours.

Hope some of that helped.
