Default Got alignment done....WOW!

OK,

Went to NTB and got last minute alignment done on my car.
MrClean is my witness. The car handling is notched up significantly!
It is amazing what simple alignment does to your handling.

Let's just say I have about -0.3 on all four corners more than the stock setting.
Didn't go with full point as British alignment.

Anyways, I couldn't believe how well the car is planted around the sharp turns and how crisp the turn in is. It is so profound in fact, I will have to relearn how to drive my own car now.

I will be at Mid Ohio to test out the new alignment settings. Will let you all know how it turned out.

Yep, best $70 spend on my car!

Front and rear toe is at stock settings. I might as well have been talking to the tech instead of Andy.

Everything is adjustable on the S. I have -2.0 camber in the rear and -1 in the front.

Just went out and took a photo of the adjustment points for the rear. The left one is for toe and the other is the camber adjustment. The front camber is adjust the same way, but front toe is adjusted by the tie rod ends.

I guess I was vague on what it mean by -0.3.

Here are the setting if anyone cares.


Camber Front Left -0.8 Front Right -0.8
Toe Front Left 0 Front Right 0
Caster Front Left 4.6 Front Right 7 <- This they couldn't change much. Apparently my caster angle is all jacked up and the guy said there wasn't anything he couldn't do much to change it. So ended up with -2.4 split. Car doesn't pull to neither side and so far so good so I am not going to worry so much about it.

Camber Rear Left -1.8 Rear Right -1.8
Toe Rear Left 0.26 Rear Right .26



So there you have it.

So that -0.3 on all 4 corners comment was accurate how?
