Default OEM & UK Spec Alignment

everyone,

I used the search function on this information but really couldn't get direct answers. Anyway, I was wondering if someone could give me the exact UK Alignment Specs and the OEM Alignment Specs so I could do a little comparing. Feel free to throw in your opinion regarding these two specs! And one more thing, will a AP2, lowered about an inch on all corners, be able to dial in the UK Alignment?

Thanks.

I think the UK Spec is a little more track oriented.

I have the UK spec on my 06, and like it. I'm lowered an inch, and it was easy for the techs to get the numbers dialed in. Took them about 15 minutes. Don't have the numbers on me at the moment.

Haven't noticed any tire wear yet. The tires were put on about 2 months ago, and the alignment was done shortly after.

UK spec alignment is the magical trick that makes you fast.

Yup, although I have heard and believe it can cause a little more tire wear. But I would be willing to give up a one or two hundred miles on tires to have a better handling car.
