what alignment spec's to use
hopefully in the next few days Im gona get the alignment done on my car.
I was looking at the tech info here on the site and dont know what spec's to tell the alignment shop to use.
I only drive on the street so it should be one of these two.
Street or Hard street use
Im wondering thoe what exactly would be defined as hard street use?

The "street use" spec is pretty close to what I use, except that I try to get something more like -.5 and -1 on the camber, and about .01" - . 02" toe-in.

Im going for the alignment this morning.
mrr23 do those spec's work well for slightly agressive daily driving?
and Im assuming .03 is degrees is that right?

got the alignment done, but Im not happy, actually Im kinda mad
the guy at the shop said my drivers side ball joint is bad. thing is when I was fixing all the steering stuff the drivers side wheel was nice and firm w/no movement. he's going to give me one month to replace it and he'll realign it for free.
now what made me realy mad, he didnt align it even close to what I wanted, and it pulls to the right. he also tore one of the bolts for the strut mount off
here is what he set it to(btw I told him to set it to what mrr23 has his at)
caster......4.8 .... 5.1
camber....0.4 .... 0.3
toe 0
