Looking for suggestions on track alignment with 100% stock suspension on my S650 GT PP. I am getting all kinda of answers on Google. What I understand is you have to keep rear lower than the front to prevent oversteer? And according to searches I should maintain at least .5 difference between front and rear? I want to run FS class but hope to get more camber as my tires look like zero camber right now. Car is brand new.
 
I think you will be fine and I usually ran -.5 to -.7 front to rear difference so go that route. You won't be able to get much camber with the stock set up but say you get to -1.5 in the front, a set up of -1.0 would be a good start in my opinion.
 
I maxed out the camber on the stock plates of my DH non-HP which was -1.5 and still got quite a bit of sidewall scrubbing on my michelin pilot sport 4s on track, so I recently just bought the ford adjustable camber plates that came stock with HP darkhorse which should get to about -2.3 of negative camber up front which should help with tire sidewall scrubbing.

You need to tell us more about your car. For instance, what tires? Do you have adjustable camber plates installed on the front struts?

FS, this is for autocross, correct?
 
You can't add camber plates to the F Stock autocross class unless available as a factory option. If so they would have to be factory ones. For example a Mach 1 with the Performance Pack came with factory camber plates , so bingo that would be fine. Check for any rules adjustments in SCCA, if the option can be carried over to a similar year model.
