    Default Alignment specs

    So I recently had my car lowered on S-Techs, waited almost 2 weeks, and then took it in today for an alignment.

    My results are as follow: (stock specs)

    Front:
    Caster Left (2 to 4*): 3*
    Caster Right (2 to 4*): 3.5*

    Camber Left (-1.7* to 0.3*): -1.4*
    Camber Right (-1.7* to 0.3*): -1.5*

    Toe Left (-0.05" to 0.15"): 0.05"
    Toe Right (-0.05" to 0.15"): 0.00"
    Toe Total (-0.10" to 0.25"): 0.05"

    Rear:
    Camber Left (-2.3* to -0.3*): -2.3*
    Camber Right (-2.3* to -0.3*): -2.2*

    Toe Left (-0.05" to 0.15"): 0.05"
    Toe Right (-0.05" to 0.15"): 0.10"
    Toe Total (-0.10" to 0.25"): 0.15"


    I'm worried about tire wear, especially for rear camber. Although I am within specs, how bad is it to be right on the edge?

    when you do the cornering the weight will shift a bit, so it should wear a little more evenly than it seems like it will.

    they couldn't get the toe any better on the rear? I thought that was the easiest thing to adjust.

    The stock rear camber is not adjustable. That's why you see many members buying camber kits.

    And what does that have to do with rear toe adjustment?


    Specs are fine. Odds are you'll notice no extreme wear. I'd prefer 0 toe on all corner F/R, but those specs are all close enough that you should have no issue. As well, if you push the car you'll experience more than stock understeer, but it won't be noticeable when daily driving.
