The way I align is to first decide on ride height, and get that set, then try and get your camber and toe settings close to 0, and disconnect the swaybars.
make sure the car is on level surface, or all your measurements mean squat
Then I drop it on the scales, and see what we are looking at for weights…
Obviously your goal for a street car is usually going to be 25% weight on each corner, but rarely can you actually achieve this, so you play with your coils until you can get it as close as you can, without going too crazy changing the ride height.
All of this should be done with you in the car and someone else adjusting, or weight equivalent to you in the drivers seat
You can also play with moving some weight around such as battery relocation to help with the weight distribution. Keep in mind if you move weight around, try and keep it between the front and the rear wheels. (ie: if you are moving the battery to the trunk put it against the rear seat, not against the tailights).
After you have your weights where you want them, you can set camber, caster and toe. I would set caster first, make sure cross-caster is equal, and then set camber.
I like to run 0 toe all around maybe a 1/16th out in the front to start and make adjustments from there. More toe=massive tirewear and unpredictable handling… get a feel for the car first, and make adjustments after.
Keep in mind that camber will also change the weights on the scales, so you might want to recheck it, and make minor adjustments if needed, and then re-check camber. Its a pain in the ass cycle, and you usually need to compromise at some point.
Also be sure to shake out the car every time you put it in the air, to settle the suspension.
Rick, a good person to help you out would be bruce perry out by NYI, he has a level floor, scales and is damn good at aligning / cornerweighting. He is cheap too, I got charged around 100 i think for an entire afternoon/night with my WRX.
