Agreed, your toe needs fixing.

Your alignment is fine. Getting a performance alignment won't solve anything as it is ok as is, and any alignment change won't make it feel any less "light feeling" other than adding negative camber(install camber bolts). But that does not explain why the 2014 felt better in your hands. Have you been lifting weights since the last time you drove the 2014 two years ago? Those of you trying to help, refer to this thread. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110380 Op wants to fix "light feeling" steering when compared to a 2014 model he drove TWO YEARS AGO. He tests drives another 2016 and it felt the same. He was driving a evo x with heavier steering since the last time he drove a frs TWO YEARS AGO. |

He never mentioned floaty feeing. Only light feeling steering. Like mentioned by gramicci101, Zero toe in front and slight toe-in in the rear. This will actually make your steering lighter(I doubt you'll notice) as the toe-in from before, the tires were pushing towards the center of the car, making steering slower. Are you seriously basing your comparison to a car you drove TWO YEARS AGO? Do you remember what you had for lunch that day? |

So you are saying that alignment setup will have no effect on the steering feel whatsoever correct? |

A tire shop thinks that toe align is ok? I'd go to another shop because its way way out of alignment

Although your alignment is within specification the "Total Toe" numbers you're showing us don't give enough information. I'd be more interested in individual toe from side to side, in relation to front and rear. I'm a very picky person and would align my car closest to spec as possible. Most cars won't feel much different when they're out that slightly, but the twins are very sensitive vehicles. If you have a "light" steering feel I'd be more inclined to look at the tire inflation and tire wear. There's just too many things that come into play with a light steering feel, other than the alignment which is within spec. |
