^Almost looks like the euro spec alignment. If the shop you went to has the patience, have them even everything up. A local shop where I am takes the time to do this. Specs look good, but I'd personally take the front toe down to 0.


And I have the euro alignment lowered on Megan Tracks on 18s.

Front:
Caster: (l/r)
6'45"

Toe: (l/r)
0*

Camberl/r)
1*

Rear:
Toel/r)
0'.20" or 5mm or .20 inches

Camberl/r)
2*

having the toe in at that setting, what would it do or how does that effect handling? I should go back and get them to even things up a bit. let me know. THanks

^IIRC, it would make the car rotate faster, aka snap oversteer at the limit. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge can chime in with the answer.

keep in mind that the uk specs or any of these aggressive settings sacrifice max tire life for performance. doesn't matter to me, but to some it might.
