Default 03 ap1 alignment max camber -1.8?

Had my car aligned k my car in told them to go for:
-2.0 degrees front camber -2.5 degrees rear or max out then set castor

I got -1.8 camber in the front, 1.9 in the rear and 4.7 and 5.2 castor

do these values seem a bit low?

car is stock

Sounds about right, you should be able to get more in the rear if you want but the front is generally from -1.7 to -2.1 give or take for stock. I got -1.75 front -2.25 rear stock with te castor maxed out.

1.8 front is about all you'll get out of a stock ride height S2000.

be weary of adding that much rear camber as it will tend to cause the car to push quite a bit in the higher speed stuff (but make the car more stable).

Hope this helps!

where you in the car when it was done?

They set the rear to 1.6 before and then put it back on the machine with me in the car and it read 2.1

What is your rear toe at? Less toe in might help with more neg camber there. Front is about all you'll get without adj ball joints.

Is that total toe? If that is only a right or left value, then you have a significant amount of toe. I have an AP2 and set mine at approx +0.15 deg per side. You will need slightly more at about +0.20-0.30 deg I think. for your AP1.

thats each side, I had 0.30 degree b4 and it was fine I asked for 1/8th inch he musta put that each side

I'm gonna take it back and get the toe in changed to 0.25 and then max out camber

me old car had the uk alignment with 0.60 rear toe and I didn't like when it let go you might as well close your eyes because it was going round one way or the other!
