I remember lots of threads that weren't about drifting setups.

The rules are fairly simple.

• As little front toe in as you can live with. Ideally it should be zero toe when the car is driving (the road forces the wheels backwards relative to the car which decreases toe in - hence you need some negative toe static in order to get zeroish toe dynamic).
  
• As much caster as you can wind in, assuming you have adjustable caster rods.
  
• About 1° neg camber. A little more if you spend more time carving the hills than driving to work in the suburbs.
  
• At the rear, 0.5° - 0.75° neg camber. Close to zero toe.
  

There are variations on those numbers which comes down to tyre wear issues and personal preference. More toe in will have the effect of evening up wear on the inner edges from more neg camber. Toe in on the rear makes it more stable (like an anchor dragging behind) and more toe out at the rear will make it much more willing to change directions (read that as being a lot less stable). If you like a nice safe rear end, then toe in is for you. Toe out at the front increases initial turn in willingness, but also increases inner edge wear.

Thats a pretty good summary of what you should go for on a street car. Something like zero toe front and rear or 1-2mmtoe out front if having abit of underzteer. About 7 degrees castor, -1 to -1.5 front cAmber and -.5 to -1 reAr camber.
