What is the difference between UK and US Alignment specs?


It adds more camber mostly which makes the car more predictable at the limit instead of snap-oversteer. Highly recommended.

I understand the camber settings but why would you want toe?

Isn't toe super bad for your tires?

Toe out in the front helps the car change directions (turn in) faster, toe in on the rear helps stability.

Yep... as long as you keep it aligned within the factory recommended range.

I want more camber than recommended by the mfr, so some Firestone centers won't do it. Some will.

If you're just planning on driving the car, and not planning on driving the car, then a lifetime alignment deal would be a good idea.
