can someone point me in the right direction for a ideal alignment for drifting? I know its mostly personal preference, but i was thinking that the tires kind of flexing when you turn, with camber, wouldn't be beneficial?

I'm pretty new to this suspension crap so i had no idea, and the shop worked primarily with Euro roadrace cars so they had no idea either... Right now the rears are -2.8, 0 toe, fronts -1.9 and 0 toe

its all dependent on HP/knuckles/driver

but for a good base:
F
-2.5-3 CAMBER
maybe a smidge of toe out. like 1/16th each side

R
generally u want as lil camer as possible but, most work with what u got
toe all up to driver feel. but i think its toe in helps rotate the car a lil. i could be wrong
