A good alignment shop will have the factory specs. Mine gave me a full print-out of what the factory spec was, and what the actual reading was, before and after.

My camber did not need any adjustment after the Eibach Pro Kit. Only the toe needed fixed. Everything else was within spec. But I did take camber bolts with me and asked not to have my struts slotted. I'm not having my $500+ Tokico's cut into.

I have the Tokico's also. The real question is why did a $500+ set of aftermarket adjustable struts not come slotted in the first place!

I have the camber bolts too .
Tyre wear after dropping is perfect .
And you can mod the camber for trackdays ...

For you guys (especially LV51FER) who installed aftermarket springs, what specifications did you align to; stock? I have a set of Roush springs installed and am having wear issues on the inner fronts (camber related, obviously). I want to take it and get it aligned, but want to make sure they set it up correctly.

Thanks

Toe in/out (don't remember which) will also produce that wear.

go for zero toe, and ~-1 to -1.5 camber.

You actually want a slight toe in. A slight toe in helps the car track straight and only negligibly increases tire wear. Also, at higher speeds, the tires will lose toe. so if you set .5 toe in, on the freeway doing 70mph you are more at .25 toe in.

If you do alot of auto crossing or open track racing, a toe out is more beneficial. This helps with initial turn in but makes the car a bit jittery at high speed.
