Default What's a good alignment spec for DD?

I'm getting my alignment tomorrow and for the fronts I'm going 0' but I'm not sure about the rear.. Any inputs? this is just for daily driving and I'm on f-sport springs btw. Thanks.

yup, phresh is correct, camber cannot be adjusted unless you get a camber kit. if you lowered your car, the front and rear will be negative. depending on how much, i think 1 inch lowered will give you out of factory spec for your fronts, while the rear is still within factory specs.

camber can not be adjusted but toe can which will help with tire wear.

Also incorrect toe settings will eat up your tires faster than negative camber.

I know the camber can't be adjusted.. I'm talking about toes. I'm probably gonna go 0's on the fronts and .1 on the rear.

Is weird that my sai and included angle is out of spec cause last month when I got my alignment checked it was within spec. The only thing I changed was putting 4 set of new tires(hankook)

I wouldn't sweat it. The primary numbers all look good.
