Putting your car on scales is extremely important. Most people call that "corner weighting" You adjust the coil overs until the car is balanced on the corners/tires. You can even put weight (whatever you weigh) in the driver seat while you are adjusting the coil overs. Make your adjustments with the sway bars not attached, because sometimes they are uneven as well. Then check it with the bars attached. Sometimes one side of the bar(s) needs a little work/adjustments.
Spf recommends running a 1/16th of toe in front and rear (I think) camber, maybe a half?
If your car is dialed in, they generally go straight under hard acceleration well, and corner really well with predictability. When I first got the car, it was ALL over the place. Made faster rights than lefts, rear end stepped out bigtime on power shifts..... etc
Took some tinkering to get it right, but boy o boy was it worth it!
