Re: Looking for better than stock alignment specs (90)
When I had Barney, I had my own hi-po street alignment which worked well for the almost 20 years I owned the car.
Camber all around was -0.5?. Ft. Caster was as much as I could get with that camber setting. Toe-in at the front was 1/32-in. Toe-in at the rear was 1/16-in per side. Also, on toe, front and rear tie rod condition affects toe. If your front/rear tie rods are worn or marginal, replace them, then have the suspension aligned.
I read Marc's comments on no camber in the rear because of the u-joint, and it is true that cardian joints at angles can cause vibration, but I never had any vibration issue with a half negative at each wheel.
Actually, the axle shafts on a C4 have two u-joints and I suspect that the interaction of the angles of each joint may or may not cause a vibration.
