You should print out whatever specs you want them to dial in, as there's no assurance that Eddie or anyone else will have them.

As for adding more negative front camber, I'd agree with Hiro (and I did the same thing when I had my car aligned), but bear in mind that it'll make the car more "neutral". Put another way, it will reduce understeer by giving the front end more bite.

If you don't autocross and haven't tracked your car, you might NOT want to go this route, unless you have experience with throttle-lift oversteer and know how to handle it. Having your rear end swing out can be both frightening and dangerous if you've never been sideways.

The following link is also worth reading:

Good luck.

OK, here's my alignment results. Now I'm happy that the car is set correctly and it does handle better now. btw - customer service at Jim Coleman was great too.

Camber Left -1.0

Looks good. Let us know how the car feels after you've gotten a few more miles under you belt.
