Can any suspension/tire gurus out there recommended some custom alignment settings? I have a 1998 which is on stock suspension/tires and need to get an alignment done. I wanted to get something other than stock specs to improve handling/turn in/etc.

As of right now, I feel the car sits on its tippy toes and would like to have some squat, maybe -1.5 camber all around for the better stance/improved handling?

Would appreciate the input on what would be some idea specs for a car that gets used on the daily and occasionally gets taken through the canyons for some spirited motoring.

*My main desire is handling (making the most out of the stock suspension) but also want the car to have a bit of squat....it just feels to upright at the moment with the tires.

So form and function.

This is more a matter of technique then making changes in alignment. Walter Röhrl would be able to take advantage of subtle tuning but the rest of us would be hard pressed to discern.

any changes from stock alignment settings will adversely affect tire wear, unless you don't care about that. since you still use it as a daily driver i hope you do! best way to increase handling is to lower the center of gravity of the car hence a lower stance. even 1" drop will make a difference. stock suspension is not meant to be pushed to the limits in the canyons which is why it feels the way it feels.

if you still want to try, at most i would set the camber up front to max negative but stay within the stock alignment tolerances. about 1 degree of negative camber at most (may already be outside of the tolerance). in the rear the stock camber is enough but you can adjust to toe to 0 and see if you like the way the car rotates (stock is negative toe).
