Alignment Specs (I want good handling without the bad tire wear)
What do you guys think is a good alignment for a street setup? I'd like better handling but I don't want the tire wear increased TOO much.
-0.5, -0.7, -1 degree camber? How much toe out?
Let me know what you guys think.

keep toe at zero, always. Toe is what will wear the tires down faster.
Camber shouldn't wear the tires down faster, it'll just cause uneven wear.
I don't know if the Tiburons need camber, or if they are fine with 0ยบ. -0.5 or even -1 really isn't much camber at all. I think the Genesis comes stock with that, or more. What have you done already to your suspension?

1 degree negative camber, or -1.5 front, -1 rear.
Zero toe unless you're trying to go for something very specific. Zero toe helps with high speed stability. Some toe out will improve turn in, but for a street car I don't think I would run any toe out. On the autox car I'm running 5/8" toe out (on a 24" plate) but I am going to dial it back to 3/8" before next season.
