Setting Up Alignment for Daily Use

[Alltezza]

Well I might try a different firestone location then. It shouldn't be that hard if all they have to do it fix the toe right?

Or does messing with the toe also affect camber? And therefore makes the process a little more longer?

Yes, but it's not unduly hard with a modern rack.

However, I believe the machine will tell them that adjusting the rear requires adjusting the front. It won't be true in this case since you're relatively close to where it needs to be, but they'll bitch about it anyway.

Well a year later and here I am sitting at firestone getting a realignment hopefully they got it right this time.

I have the front and rear toe at 0 for simplicity hopefully they'll get both sides to match.

I'll update this post in an hour or so
Update: 5:21PM they told me they broke the bolt on top of my camber plate to adjust the camber, but they had another one in their inventory to use. (I don't know how that happens.....I have no idea how an alignment works but I'm guessing it snapped from over torquing)

Update: Finished at 6:15PM

I just hauled ass home, and it damn sure drives a lot better and based on the numbers sheet it looks like he got exactly or pretty close to what I wanted compared to last time. This time everything is pretty equal on both sides.

-2 Front
0 Toe Front and Rear
-1.5 Rear

This is what I have been running for at least 6 months after Coilovers (1.5 inch drop) and no other suspension mods

Based off suggestions, I am going to add more Camber to the front - 1.2 and keep the rear at - 2.1.
Then get the total toe in the front back to 0 and rear total 1/16

Note: my front and rear toe I was deeply disturbed to find out it was really off just now. But it will be fixed once I get my new wheels

Guys, when you're talking of 1/16 of rear toe in, are you talking in inches or degrees?

Inches based on a 25" wheel diameter so you can calculate 1/16" to be ~0.14 degrees

This is even more complicated. In Italy many measure toe with mm. I set mine to 1.60mm total. Is this correct?

Same here, 1mm is about 7' for 17" wheels and is a good amount of toe out front for better response!
