this is my preferred , I do my own . Camber = 0 to - 1/4 neg Caster = some positive but never had the want for massive amount ( + 3 or more ) , currently has + 1/2 to + 3/4 . Toe = 1/16 Caster often is a compromise especially if lowered and stock arms / upper bushes

And yes you can fit offset bushes if desired for extra caster . I have no issues @ 130mph , which makes me kinda slow . But quickish for a street car daily driver . Tex
