Initial alignment settings (warning: noob?)

[Hoof Hearted]

Hello,

My school for Blackhawk Farms is a couple weeks away and was wondering what the alignment settings should be for a '84 Scirocco (equipped w/ camber plates, coilovers, Bilsteins, unknown springs with half used up Hoosier R6's).

The PO indicated:

Front toe out .06 at the wheel
Max front camber
front caster 2.5 deg. Verify tire temperatures

Rear alignment should be set by shims. 0 toe, 1.8deg camber check tire temps

Are these correct or any other suggestions?

TIA,

Close, but the camber should be -2.5 to -4.0, and caster should be maxed out.....

My BHF setup:

-3.5 LF camber -2.5~-3 RF camber.
zero front toe
starting pressures I need to go look up, but I think 33-35F, 31-33R on R6s

Your rear stuff looks fine. I think I am at -2 camber there, but it has way less impact than the front end.

Not knowing the track, the staggered camber means mostly heavy right hand turns correct? I have a track that coming up that is really hard on Left hand tires and another that is really hard on the rights. I have never staggered camber but think it might be a good idea for these tracks. Thoughts?

In most cases I end up using a left hand or right hand dominant setup. Based more on which corners are important, than on how many lefts or rights there are.

Maybe a tiny bit of toe-in for the rears...
