I can't find the instruction sheet for the caster/camber and I am due at the shop in the morning.

I have the global west upper and lower, drop spindels and Qa-1's. I don't think the spindles or coil overs matter. I want to go with what GW suggests as standard. 18x8 4.75 bs if that matters.

Anyone know the right numbers or have good ideas?

A ballpark alignment spec would be
Camber .5 neg for street, up to - 2 deg for race.
Caster 5 deg positive the RF can be 5 to 5.25 positive.
Toe-in, 1 1/6" to 1/8"
This should be pretty close to the Global West specs for a first gen.
Their tech page is not working, maybe a bad link.

Ok that worked. it's all good now. Warning for anyone with GW you have to make sure they are going with those settings. Holy crap - I printed out the numbers and gave them to the guy and he still insisted he couldn't get there b/c he was ignoring that and looking at the computer specs for our cars. I had to tell him to forget what kind of car it is and make my numbers work. Stubborn knucklhead finally got it right.

At least the guy ended up listening to you which is more than most people would do.

Glad you got it dialed in.
