Camber close to 0 or just barely negative is probably the best for on the street.
For castor, most shops will set the right wheel slightly more positive than the left, this gives a slight push from the right to offset the crowning in most roadways.
Toe is usually better around 0 or slightly positive for RWD cars.
I'm a little curious though how they're adjusting camber and toe on a Camaro with a solid rear axle. Heh. The only thing you could change is thrust angle, and I'm not even sure you can do that... I never noticed if the lower control arm body connection points are slotted.1994 Firebird 3.4<br />15.65 @ 86.8<br /><a href=\"http://www.funkz.net/firebird.htm\" target=\"_blank\">funkz.net/firebird</a><br /><a href=\"http://mywebpages.comcast.net/funkz/timeslips.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Timeslips</a>

well i'm gonna guess your car pulls to the left? other than toe being way out camber isn't out enough to cause major tire wear and i wouldn't worry about caster.Ben<br /><br />1995 White/Black 3.4L<br />As far away from stock as possible<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=288292\" target=\"_blank\">My Site!!!</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.redlinevsix.com\" target=\"_blank\">RedLineV6</a><br />Rebuild and 3.4 T70 Turbo is complete<br />Details to come....

Yeah, the car does pull a little to the left. Before I got the alignment it pulled HARD to the right. It seems to be fine now, I just didn't know what all of it meant, and I didn't want to be putting too much wear on one tire like I was before.
Thanks for the link and info!<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2093533\" target=\"_blank\">CarDomain Page</a>

Toe = 0
Caster = +4.5
Camber = -0.5
set it there, exactly for best wear/performance. You want it to be damn close to that to have a good alignment.
