Default Stock Alignment Specs

I can't find them. I have a 2002 USDM and lowered on a prokit and I'm going to get an alignment today. Please help!

Thanks,

Tom

The UK alignment is widely regarded to be the best alignment spec, I hope someone posts that, cos I want to know too. I'll see if I can find it...

So they say, I've always been one for handling over tire cost. Your choice ultimately.

sure thay could use the specs, though maybe not meet them. Or then maybe they don't really know what they're doing.

They should be able to give you a pretty aggressive allignment by adjusting to max negative camber and then adjusting caster as far as it will go after setting camber. My alignment guy lets me sit in front seat to get it just right.

I haven't noticed any bad tire wear but like a previous poster am willing to absorb tire wear cost for performance handling.

My bad. Thought the OP was talking about a more agressive alignment and not stock. Your alignment guy should be able to download stock specs for your MY. If not then go someplace else.

I gave him a sheet with the specs they said they can't use that, "they go by the colors" or something like that. I got the car back and it tracks to the right... need to go back tomorrow.
