Guldstrand recomends for racing:
(assumes "Guldstrand mod" is done)

Caster 3 to 4 1/8 deg pos
Camber 1.5 to 2 deg neg
Toe in 1/8" out to 1/8" in (I would try 1/8" out first) more neg camber = more toe out.

Is it the aligment we have to set at the geometry 'shop' ?

I think I set mine at 0 degrees camber, 3 or 4 degrees caster, and 1/8'' toe out. I don't remember exactly, but I think that is right.

I'm there with Boodlefoof. For most street car alignments we did at Guldstrand, we set the camber 0 to -1/2 degree (depending on size of tire), caster was set to as much as we could get out of it (+3 to +4 1/4) and toe 0 to 1/8 out.
