Message Unless you really know what you're doing, you get a "normal" 4 wheel alignment with all your adjustable bits to make the car "drivable." Nothing fancy needed here.

You take it to the track and get an instructor and drive through your first session. Then your second session, third, fourth, etc. However many laps it takes until your comfortable with the car.

When you can take a hot lap and say "Hmmm, the car is understeering/oversteering more than I would like." Then you can attempt to tune this a bit by:

(a)Sway bar settings (if adjustable)
(b)Shock absorber damber adjustment
(c)Camber settings
(d)ETC.
(e)All of the above
(f)None of the above
(g)I don't go to the track
(h)My 60ft time 18 seconds
(i)Put more groceries, in the back next to the subwoofers
(j)Add more neon lights

If you actually have an understeer/oversteer condition on public roads when driving according to the law, you have a problem. 99% of drivers don't know what understeer/oversteer is because it doesn't really matter on public roads. Roadways are designed so that you can navigate them without traction losses coming into play.
Wet/icy conditions change this slightly.
