Default Alignment....help?

Hello everyone, I am pretty sure my alignment needs sorting as my steering wheel is slightly off whilst I am traveling in a straight line! I have the ability to do this myself, but I dont know the correct camber/toe it should have from the factory. Plus I've recently had AD08's fitted on the front and I dont fancy them wearing away quicker than they should just because of the alignment! Thanks

Standard settings are in the FAQ I think


camber front 1.0
caster front 6.5
toe front 0 0

camber rear 2.0
toe rear 0.20 0.20 overall 0.40


Some might put more toe on the rear but as yours is a facelift it'll bumpsteer less anyway and toe eats your tyres.

If you want a more track based or faster road setup or whatever people call it, you could up the camber a bit, fit a bumpsteer kit and reduce the rear toe

I'm running 1.5 on the front, 2.5 on the rear and 0.20 overal toe and I like it

Try zero front toe with those tyres. 0.1 on each rear. Should be pointy and help tyre life

What units are you all working in, when you say 0.20 and 0.1 are you talking minutes or degrees?

They're too aggressive for OEM aren't they ??

That's pretty much what I'm running now after a fast road set up .

Degrees mate, in the post above with the figures anyway.

So are you saying 0.2 of a degree or 20 minutes, because the two are not the same yet 20 minutes is expressed as .20
