Wheel pros, help me with these alignment specs from my shop.

Hi all,

Here is my alignment sheet:




I'm lowered. Just a fun summer street car. The only thing I think I'm concerned about is the front left caster - is there any way to adjust this?

Should I be worried about any of the specs on the rear? The rear tow is out too.

you need to tell us what you suspension/height/wheel specs are before we can tell you what can be adjusted and what can't.

why no camber in the front?

ideally you want some to IN (rear) for stability. maybe .08 per side. and if you want great turn in toe the front out a tiny bit and dial a bit of camber in. that would make for a really fun car.

caster is usually unadjustable with most suspension, once again we dont know what mods you have

Hi. Thanks for your reply.

Currently I am running new stock struts with Tein S-Tech springs. They give a 1.22 front drop and a 1.02 rear drop. Currently I am on stock wheels with spacers, but will be moving to 18" Wheels soon with the same overall tire diameter.

Not sure why no camber in the front. My body shop friend said get some caster/camber plates. But ideally I only want to bring the front left camber in some to make it in line. Seems pointless, but if its what I need to do, I'll get them.

Not sure. What they came up with was the best they said they could do on stock suspension

How much are you lowered? That doesn't really make sense to me considering the rear camber is only 0.1 off side to side so I'd imagine both sides are fairly close in height. They got a good toe on the left but not the right? Did they suggest what you need to get equal toe in the rear?

Is this a "performance" shop? If not I'd suggest you go to one, especially when you have aftermarket suspension components.

EDIT: just read you are on springs. I would say get the adjustable camber bolt in front to equalize camber left/right. Rear I feel they should be able to equalize toe unless they are lazy? I'm no expert so maybe the stock adjustment range is very limited for toe, anyone know?
