This question has definitely been asked before but what alignment specs should I run with the KW V3s and GC camber plates? I daily drive my car and frequently take it out to the canyons. I've done some research on this thread and came up with this. I'm also on the stock 437ms with the oem tire sizes.
-2.7 degrees, 0.03 toe out -1.9 degrees, 0.04 toe in |

Depends on how you plan to use the car. Additional camber isn't needed if you are just driving on the street.
If you plan on Tracking, I've found that -2.75 or so works well for street with some track days mixed in. Zero toe. In the rear, the camber isn't adjustable, but I went with a minimal amount of toe in. The car handles great on the street and track, and my tires seem to wear fairly evenly. |

I have KW V3 and Dinan sway bars, otherwise stock suspension. I drove mostly in the city, not much faster than 35mph max. And 1-2 times per month going on some windy backroads.
My passenger tire is worn bald on the inside with -1.6 camber, and the driver's side at -1.2 has even wear and a lot of life left. My rear is -1.8 driver's -1.7 passenger and both tires wear evenly with each other and across their surfaces. I had no idea until know (looking at my alignment printout) that the rear had more camber than the front. Looking at the car looks the opposite of that. |

Thanks. I'll have my alignment checked when I have new tires put on soon. My alignment sheet from March 2019 shows toe is good, but maybe something got knocked loose. But that shouldn't be the case either because I have a bolt check done every time my car is on a lift and all bolts are marked for quick visual of what's come loose. We'll see in a few weeks.
