Any help would be cool.....

I am thinking of going with. -2.0 degrees camber in front with zero toe.

Car is going to be 90% street,10% light weekend ac race.

I have tokico hts,eibach prokit springs,trd sway,15 inch wheels,gt spec braces,Etc.

Still thinking on tires we will use ??

what type of racing you doing? full track or autocross style?
that is a very good general setup you got going. i say get a temp gun and some tire chalk. chalk the sidewalls and after your first run/lap. check the inside and outside of the tire tread and see what you got. try to get the camber just right to spread the heat across the tire. as far as tires, im a bit lower then you but i run 225/50/15. i have to roll the fenders thought and i cut the wheel well liner out a little bit. but 215 should work just right i believe. depends on how much ur willing to sacrifice for more grip =)

-2 is good. Going to put in a little negative in the rear too?

I run -3 front/-2 rear and the car feels great with that.

Going to bring this thread back to life because I don't want to start a whole new one. If i want camber to be -3 in front and -2 in back, do I need to install something before taking the car to an alignment shop? My car has TRD springs, shocks and rear sway, would you say my rear camber should be ~ 2/3 the front? Um looking for a fun setup, if the tires wear a tad faster, but the car handles noticeably better, its worth it.

I'd worry about tire life with that much camber, personally I run -1.5 camber and -0 toe all around and all's good.

The car will handle better with, say, -2.5 camber though.
