2/16" or 3/16" of an Inch. If you are driving the car on the track tire life is not a major concern....
If you want the car to handle, the toe will need to be adjusted beyond what a street driven car would use.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Ian, go with the alignment specs that I listed previously. The front toe spec will give you sharper turn-in while the rear toe spec will give good stability under heavy braking. 2 Degrees Camber is good enough to keep the tire from rolling over when cornering, but not so much that you loose grip under braking.
On a side note, my car is getting close to being finished. Let me know if you come down to SpeedWare, I will meet you out there.

Ian, the toe is fully adjustable both front and rear, you should not have a problem getting these numbers.

dont have time to test out your setup Alex, track day on saturday and leaving vancouver at friday. DAMN
anyway, thanks for the help
We have gone to -3 degrees camber in front, with -1.8 degrees rear for most tracks. We use 1/16th inch front toe out, and zero rear toe. We use the Hotchkis sways, and set them to full hard up front, and the middle setting in the back. We are still on the stock springs and shocks, and we use a 245-645-18 front slick, rear 295-660-18 rear slick. This seems to balance the car pretty well. Of course this will change a bit if I can ever decide on a spring/shock combo...
