The factory specs suck. Don't use 'em.

We go with these for a daily driven street car.


0 - camber on both sides

1.5 to 2deg caster on both sides

1/8" toe in

If the shop can't or won't make the specs the same on both sides the car won't drive right. The shop you use should LOVE to work on these cars or find a shop that does. They are easy to work with, don't let them tell you it's a lot of work and it will cost more than a regular car. We pay $40.
