Can someone decipher these Alignment Specs?

Caster +4 (L&R)
Camber -.8 (L&R)
Toe Total 0 Inches


I need these in Degrees..ASAP

Also, anyone have any other ideas on how to setup a street car for some good handling(tire wear is an issue)

I'm heading to the alignment shop in about an hour or so...

Thanks guys!

The caster and camber are already in degrees. Toe-in is generaly in "inches" but since its "0" it doesn't matter.

Those numbers look like they are right from the "4th Gen FAQ" for lowered cars.

Yeah I got them from there.....I was looking for some alignment specs to go with, but couldn't really find anything on here....

I would like a good street handling combo, not too radical, but well better than stock

Thanks already for the help!!

When my car was lowered, I used +4deg caster, -1deg camber, 0.1 toe-in. A guy who auto-x'd redommended that configuration. Worked fine, ahndle fine, no signs of excessive tire wear.
