What do I do for "non-street"? You mean rally? Or, do you mean autox or
something? Well, to tackle both those topics, my dirt/gravel alignment
was -2deg camber while on snow/ice I'd run 0 -.5deg camber. There just
wasn't enough lateral grip to need any more. I planned to increase caster
via bushings but never got around to it.
Now, I'm no autox suspension expert, but the Monster Rocc will be set up for
paved backroads. I'm going to run -2deg camber with a tiny bit of toe out in
the front (not sure how much yet). I'll also install those caster adding
bushings. They can be purchased from BSI Racing: <http://www.bsiracing.com>

So what do you use for non street?
I've got mine set up with a little toe out (in front), and -ve camber of
course. Rear is stock.
The midline steering is a little neutral, meaning I can Jiggle the wheel
~3/4" either side of center without much movement from car, however when it
turn the wheel I really like the turn in...

I always align my street cars to -1.5deg camber up front with zero toe.
I leave the rear alone. Did you get a print out describing how your car was
set up? Are you sure that your tire pressures are consistent all the way
around?

I was wondering what settings i should use for toe and camber on the
front. i got it aligned and they screwed it up, the car pulls to the side
and the rear always feels like it wants to fishtail. what settings should i
use? my car is lowered about 2.1 inches. thanks
