Were you really running 2.5* toe in? Excessive.

With ls1 torque I would toe in a little bit and run a bigger/stickier tire so that speed can be increased.

Assuming you are still using s14 se's as in the picture...

Toe out up front I like for the turn in and steering it give me when I'm doing da driftings.

Zero toe in rear allows frees up a little traction when compared to running toe. So it helps the lesser horsepower cars out. But as I said, it doesn't do much for increasing speed/stability.

Yep, stock KA with that much toe = pedal to the floor/top of 3rd/nice sustainable and controlable angle

But that's just me

Front camber should be set at whatever yields the most contact patch at lock.

Rear camber depends on setup as well. I have found that rear camber on a car can actually increase grip when the body rolls.

Caster is drivers preference.

Rear toe depends on power/tire setup.
Zar how much power were you putting down with this set up?

Krimlin, how easier was it to drive/drift with your setup?
