I would go for slight negative like -.2 - -.5
since you're mostly on the street
as for the toe... probably get it close to 0 for the front I wouldn't make it too much toe out. for the street.

I agree. Dial in as much negative camber front as you can. Don't know if this is doable for a stock car.
For toe I also recommend 0 toe front and rear if this is a daily driver. Turn-in will be quicker. If you can and willing to have some accelerated tire wear I would go with 1/16 toe out front and 0 toe rear.

When I got my camber done two weeks ago we spent like a whole hour on one side. Because even moving the Skunk2 front camber kit on my car like .5mm was like a whole degree of camber

wow... .5mm for a whole degree. thats pretty dramatic.
with 2 degrees of negative camber, will i run into any excellerated tire wear, i mean REALLY excellerated?
i mean this is strictly for normal, get me to work and school, street driving.

Why would you want 2 degrees negative camber for a street car? I'm running 2.5 negative for the past month and my tires are fine. WHat kills your tire is excessive toe.
