    Default Best street alignment specs?

    What are the best alignment specs for my NA that will give me good handling without eating my tires to pieces?

    Here is my setup:
    - R package Bilsteins
    - FM springs
    - NB top hats
    - 36mm FCM bump stops

    I'm pretty low so I'm not sure how far out my camber can go, suggestions would be awesome!

    Camber really doesn't wear tires. It is toe.
    front -1.5 to -2.0 camber, 0 toes
    rear -2.0 to -2.5 camber , 1/8 toe in
    M3 is always the answer.

    ...and all the caster you can get in the front

    This is a good read: http://949racing.com/miata-race-alignment-info.aspx <-- He recommends 0 toe front and rear which will keep tire wear in check. The camber specs aren't extreme, either.

    I've heard from a few autocrossers that running more camber out front than in the rear is preferable. Seems like it's faster on a road course, too, according to that link. Depending how low you are, you may be limited as to how much camber you can dial out of the rear.
