I recently installed a set of lowering springs and a whiteline front swaybar. So im assuming that the factory alignment specs no longer apply. My main concern is the rear toe. The UK spec is 6mm iirc. So if i have a larger front sway bar, which in theory make the car understeer a bit more. Should i have less toe in, lets say 3mm instead of 6?

 

I'd keep it at 6mm total...

I'm usuing the whiteline front SB

 

No, it makes it less prone to oversteer. It is still a predominantly oversteery car.

My vote is to keep the UK specs.

I use H&R lowering springs and Whiteline front sway bar.

 

Thanks for that

so 6mm total means toe in 3mm each side?

 

Yup

 

Does anyone know if there are factory settings are for a wheel alignment with factory wheels and S02 tyres. if so what are they? Do I have to quote these to the serviceman or would they know what to do ?

Can someone reccommend a good place for a wheel alignment in Sydney west and how much does it cost roughly?

thanks

 

depends how aggressive you want it, search up the UK settings and quote that to them if your not sure.

It should cost about $75

 

im running -3.2 each side on 18's
H&R lowered springs & cusco bar

 

ss2kwhite - I run stock rims with S02s. I just get my local bridgestone dealer to do the alignment when I buy the tyres. That way I can haggle a bit and get a discount on the alignment cost.

I use the UK alignment settings, print them out and hand it to the people doing the alignment, as they differ to the Australian factory settings.

 

ok thanks - but why UK settings - r they better than Aus ones?
