Alignment Specs

I'm fortunate enough to work at a shop with an alignment rack( infact i do the alignments lol)

i was reading the tech FAQs on the main page and saw alignment specs but due to page formating i cant make heads or tails of it lol..


i was wondering wat would be a good starting line for a "Aggressive Street" tune.

I drive my car every day but get hooked up on tire so wear isnt much of an issue.. and i do drive my car kinda hard.

this is all assuming i can align my car lol i think it may be too low.

BTW any specs in degrees would be great because thats what we use on our machine...

Re: Alignment Specs

Toe: Same as stock specs
Camber: Same as stock specs
Caster: 4-5*

If you play around with toe and camber, you'll get tire wear. The best you might hope for is to set the camber the same on both sides. Normally it's set to compensate for any road crown.
