Recommendations on allignment
I'm looking for a decently aggressive setup while keeping wear to a reasonable level.
Suspension Mods are as follows: Quaife LSD AST 4100 with Swift Springs (dropped a bit) Vorshlag Camber Plates M3 Rear Subframe bushings M3 Rear Sway Bar M3 Front Sway Bar M3 Wishbones M3 Tension Rods Michelin PSS 225 35 18s up front and 255 in the rear. Again just looking for recommendations ideally a more aggressive setup that gives reasonable tire wear. (will be tracking the car semi-regularly and auto crossing on occasion Sorry that I don't know much about setting these cars up but any help is appreciated! Thanks.

For around town (and to extend the life of your tires) I would recommend camber of -1.9f/-1.5r, zero toe to a slight toe-in up front, a slight toe-in in the rear, and max out your caster. Running this set up around town with a suspension similar to what you describe results in pretty even tire wear. The wear can be seen to the outer edge of the tread block, but there are no signs of the tire rolling over. There will be slightly more wear along the inside edge of the tire (obviously), but nothing too extreme. In the past I've run a bit of toe-out in the front. The turn in response was great, but the car will track every groove in the road and will act like it has a mind of its own on straight roads/ highway. If you have super smooth roads, you could try a couple degrees of toe-out in the front.
For track set up, I would max out the negative camber up front and dial in -1.9 camber in the rear. Slight toe-out in the front. Keep a slight toe-in in the rear for braking stability. Again max out your caster. This set up will help you rotate the car much easier, but it goes without saying...be on your game or the rear can get away from you. p.s. Go with a 225/40/18 up front not a 225/35/18. |

Typically on a track application, you will want to be around these specs:
Front: -3* to -3.5* Camber 0 Total Toe Max Caster w/given adjustments above (this really only applies if you have caster adjustable plates) Rear: -2* Camber 1/8th total toe in |

Cool, thank you. And minor typo they're the normal 225 40's up front and 255 35's in the rear.
