In the long, ongoing, saga of getting my car aligned, I have installed new front bushings and undoubtedly screwed up the settings royally. I have posted here about doing it myself or using a shop. I found a shop, actually run by a guy I used to work with at another shop when we were both much younger, and he said he can do it, and even do it to my specs as long as they are within adjustable range.

I thought I was all set and going to use the specs from the Pasha article linked from the suspension chapter of the technical pages on this website. But as I look at it it shows 3/4° for the front and 1° for the rear, assume this is camber. Therein lies the rub, everything I read talks about dialing in negative camber for handling, these are supposed to be street/sport specs. Are the numbers supposed to have "-"s in front of them? A typo or lost in html conversion? Or is it really suggesting more positive camber than factory specs. Just when I think I have it all figured out....anybody have the original article or some good street specs? I use the car to tool around in and occasionally autocross.

Yes, these will be negative camber numbers.
