Default Steering setup/alignment SLK32...going in for a tune...

I've got a bit of left side drift and gotta get it fixed - been like it since day dot (12 months)
Car's stock with stock 17's and I like to sport and not too worried about tire wear (5k miles a year).
Is it best to go with the factory camber/toe or is there something better...?

Possibly going in 2morrow AM so recommended +/- numbers appreciated.

The stock alignment specs are pretty decent.

When I checked my alignment, I found the camber to be at -1.3* all around. Great! I installed the MikeR adjustable rear camber arms and adjusted it down to -0.5* rear camber for better straight-line launches. The cornering is still great, and maybe even a little more neutral.

I like very little toe-in. From memory I think I set it at 0.07* front and 0.21* rear toe-in. On the front you want as close to 0* as you can get for good steering response. You don't want any toe-out though or you will won't be happy with the tire wear or straight-ahead tracking.

I played around with the rear toe quite bit. I had rear toe-out on one test drive. What a hoot! The car would rotate like crazy! Not safe for normal driving though. 0.0* rear toe handled well, but the rear wanted to squirm around under WOT acceleration. A little toe-in on the rear, about 0.21*, stabilized the acceleration and has been working great.

Your mileage may vary.
