Car Details:1990 Camaro 5lt RS manual with T-tops.
Got my Camaro back on the road after poly bushing and changing springs/shocks (lowered all round 1.5").
What is the recommended front Toe in/out for Camaros? as my car drives horrible at the minute as steering is everywhere.

Car is a 1990 RS Camaro with 305 V8 manual. Fully polybushed with lowered springs/shocks (1.5inch)

When i had my IROC used some settings I gave my local tyre place I found in a camaro performance book i had at the time..

I quickly looked online there's loads of settings available. Concensus seems to say that standard figures wear the outside edges so need to add camber, which improves grip, and a touch of toe in.

Would that be for American roads? Drivin on the opposite side of the road means you would need to toe opposite to counter the slope of roads?

Or have I just thought that all wrong lol

I don't think our roads have enough camber to need to adjust the geometry to account for it, reckon you'd get more tyre wear than benefit.

I use to do a lot of tracking and it's amazing how much road camber can alter the drive ability of a car, most just pulling to the right (curb)
