Is an alignment something that you can reasonably learn to do yourself? Or is it too hard to get it right?
Any thoughts?

I've experienced what I think he's telling you about a street and track driven car. First of all the compromise he's referring to is the inside wear you'll get on your tires during normal street driving with increased negative camber. More negative camber is generally speaking better for cornering grip on the track, and reduced outside wear due to tire rollover. The problem is you'll increase wear on the inside of your tires driving in a straight line like you are doing most of the time on the street.Torsion said:Oh hell, I didn't mean to imply that Sam gave me *bad* advice.
Our conversation went something like this:
Me: "once I install camber plates, konis, and Steeda springs... what camber setting should I set it up for?"
Sam: something like "well, it depends upon how much track and how much street driving you'll be doing, it's all a compromise".
Me: "But, don't people go to the track, add negative camber at trackside... then change it back for street driving?"
Sam: he said something about how people adjust the camber and then have no idea how it affected their toe. I can't remember exactly, but he then suggested that I just try to pick one setting, get it professionally done, and stick to it.
