Thumbs up Westend's "Aggressive Street" Alignment?

Westend Alignment (Darrin) has an aggressive street setting for our S's. If you have the specs, can you post them for me?

Basically, I currently have his track-setup:

Front Specifications
-Camber (Right): 1.5 (neg)
-Camber (Left): 1.5 (neg)
-Caster (Right): 6.5 (pos)
-Caster (Left): 6.5 (pos)
-Toe In (Total): 1/32 inches
Rear Specifications
-Camber (Right): 2.25 (neg)
-Camber (Left): 2.25 (neg)
-Toe In (Total): 1/4 inches

But I will need to starting using my S as a commuter car and will need to make it more 'practical.'

I would go back to Darrin but I'm getting this done elsewhere through insurance.

Much appreciated! TIA

These are the settings Darin gave me last year. I don't remember for certain if he called it "aggressive street" but that's basically what I asked for.

Front Specifications
-Camber (Right): .5 (neg)
-Camber (Left): .5 (neg)
-Caster (Right): 6.5 (pos)
-Caster (Left): 6.5 (pos)
-Toe In (Total): 1/32 inches
Rear Specifications
-Camber (Right): 1.75 (neg)
-Camber (Left): 1.75 (neg)
-Toe In (Total): 1/4 inches

There you have it.

Go with the Honda UK spec. I believe it's

Front:
camber: -1
caster: max
toe: 0

rear:
camber: -2
toe: in 1/4" (total)

Stupid question, but are these specs dependent on weight of driver, and type of suspension on the car?

They're more like suspension settings. http://www.mrtrally.com.au/performance/howctc.htm for a brief explaination of sorts.

Thanks guys. I'm getting my alignment done tomorrow and I'm going to go with the UK specs.

exa4driver: You should sit in the car whilst aligning.

Hitman: Where are you getting it done at? And what type of suspension are you running?

Thanks
