Great thread!

I just got my car aligned yesterday.

Camber:
L: -1.2 R: -0.5
Caster:
L: 3.5 R: 3.6

Toe is 0.16 all around.

The guy said that the camber difference is okay becasue it is still within spec. The total cross camber was 0.7.

Are these specs good, or should I adjust for some more + camber on the drivers side?

Thanks in advance!

This is an excellent thread - hats off to SaleenGT2001 and bdcardinal - very informative! Alignment tech stuff is quite foreign to most people...I know I for one am still gaining info on this subject.

i'd like to see the camber at -0.50 on both sides.

if the car does not pull with the caster the way it is now you will be fine. i like to keep the pass side wheel 0.50 ahead of the drivers side to offset for road crown.

toe looks great
