Default New Alignment - Before & After Lowering - Weighted Seat

I finally got a chance to get the car on the new Koni's with OEM springs set on the lower perch, approximatly 0.5-0.75" drop at all 4 corners. Thanks to Joey (ILoveMyHonda1984) I was able to sit in the car during the aligment to see what kind of difference it actually makes. The cars was aligned at OEM specifications before the Koni's then taken into the shop. The starting point was with me in the car with factory tools, tire and trim.

That is the factory specification, I know that some run less for track duty but this is the starting point. My goal was to add front camber and see how it does from there.

Thanks for the heads up

Too much toe sucks on the street as much as it does at the track. Highly recommend dialing that out. I wouldn't run more than 0.3 degrees total, and generally run 0.2 total.
