on my 145 that had ipd sways, vpd springs, and 225/50/17's. i had +1 caster -1 camber and 2mm toe in. the car handeled well , the tire wear was good. i would have like a little more caster.

on my 142 w/ 225/50/15 i have +3 caster, -2.5 camber and 2mm toe in. the car handles realy well but tire wear isn't as good. plus with that much camber and caster it handles wierd in reverse. not the best thig for a daly driver.

another note, both cars have power steering, so the amount of caster doesn't afect steering effort that much. both cars have 13" wheels and are easy to drive at low speeds.
