had the 02 "optimum" uk alignments done on new stock wheels & tyres & was initially impressed but I think this was due to changing the tyres back to s02's.
so after @ 1.5k miles I dont like these settings, sure the back end seems steady but theres lots more understeer & the car seems less pointy & the steering vague.
Is this consistent with what the settings should create?
I think I may go back to the originals if my tyres will take that (1.5k motorway miles)
I seem to remember someone else saying similar
any opinions or settings would be appreciated

Can't comment on your question, but would greatly appreciate if you could post the UK specs you used. I know they're here somewhere, but I can't seem to find them. I'm considering going to the UK alignment, as I've heard it is a bit more aggressive. Are there different versions of the UK specs? Which version does the car come as delivered? Thanks

 

here you go

the ones in red are the so called optimum settings i refer to

 

Excellent, thanks! I'm interesested in the response to your original question, as I have an 03 and this bulletin says 00-01 only. Not sure how these specs are different than stock US (or UK) 02-03 settings.

 

What tyres were you using before? The OE S-02 rear tyres are wider and will give more grip out in the back, i.e. more understeer.
