I've been reading through everyone's setup and over on the last page Malek posted this:

Front:
1/32" toe out per side
-2.0* camber per side

Rear:
1/16" toe in per side
-1.8* camber per side.

Thrust Angle = 0.00

I'm thinking i'll go for this - or as close as i can get, probably won't get that much camber up front.

Depending on how much you track the vehicle, I wouldn't do 1/32" toe out on the front if it will be used on the street. Those specs are geared more toward a track car. These settings will of course vary greatly depending on ride height, and wheel and tire setup.

Given you are on Swift Spec-R lowering springs and the stock 18's with spacers, I would try neutral toe in the front and not toe out.

If you have more questions, let me know, I will be more than willing to help you.

Also, the post of mine you are referring to is based on a completely different wheel and tire setup as well as the suspension itself. I don't want that post to be taken the wrong way and everyone thinking those are the best settings to use. Those settings were used for a specific setup. Alignment is not a one size fits all subset of settings. Driver, car, track and tires all play a roll in what alignment is best for the car.

Ok so I set the toe in the front to neutral and rear toe to 1.2mm. Does feel more planted.

My only issue is that they could get 1.9 camber in the front right but only 1.3 on the left side. Without camber plates and since it's lowered on swifts they said it's impossible to get it to match. Can someone confirm this is infact the case.
