stock suspension:

front: Camber -1
Rear: Camber -1.5

I am will be realigning to get some odd castor just to really sweeten the manual steering package.

You'll find that a lot of us are moving form the "norm" of the more rear camber over the front, especially since the rear has dyanmic camber curves (ie, more camber when suspension is compressed).

What is the application? Daily, Autox, Track?

IIRC I'm at -1.9F and -1.8R. I'm pushing over 220rwtq and I'm planted with a rear bar.

Full FM susp.
Camber toe Cast
Front -1.1 1/32 -5
Rear -1.5 1/32 ---

Like it a lot for hills and street. next time I'll dial the caster down a scoosh. Getting a little front end slide on hard corners at low speed with heavy throttle IE: pulling out of U turns with heavy throttle

Can you tell us the rest of your settings? What width and type of tires are you using to manage that torque? Are you using some positive toe, in the rear to fight power oversteer?

I think toe out would cause more oversteer...
