camber and toe settings

[dan2288]

I dropped my car about 2 inches and will be getting an alignment soon. Its a 2g awd. Im pretty sure the toe should be at 0 on all four corners. What should the camber be set at? I want it to handle good around the turns. Also ### about the caster? Is that important?

Caster is unadjustable on 2g's (without adjustable balljoints or changing the compression arm bushing) and camber is adjustable in the rear with a shim kit only - save a buck, and use a few washers to shim the rear camber back to normal. Front camber you can leave a little extra negative, as it is beneficial. My car is 1.5" lower, and I'm ok with the front camber where it sits without adjustment. With a 2" drop, it may be a bit too negative. It's up to you if you want to invest in the parts needed to fix the front camber.

Fix the alignment as soon as possible - the horrible tire wear is faster than you think. 2 weeks can ruin your tires.
