New alignment with adjustable Istook arms
Istook arms installed:

Just got it back from the alignment at Dave's in Huntington. We set it at:
2.25 degrees negative camber
6 1/2 degrees positive caster
1/16" toe out
Any comments on these specs?
Looks like this:

Might get some inner tire wear on the street. Luckily the car is only on the street for "test drives" and driving to the track.

Turns like a mother now... can't wait to get it back to the track.

the tire doesn't care if it's toe'd in or out. either way, it's scrubbing to provide straight line
(highway) stability.
at static, yes, it's out, but when you dive into a corner on the track, it puts the toe near zero - which is the least resistant and quickest.
I have my car at zero (static) toe all around. I told my alignment guy that if he was a little off, to be out, not in.

i'd be concerned about directional change if a tire fails....
if your looking for quick turn in on the track try this: get a right hand drive steering rack flip it over and put it in your car. iirc this will give you reverse ackerman angle. just never let go of the steering wheel.
