New alignment after rear spc cambet kit installed.

Front

Camber:
L -1.6 R -2.0

Caster:
L 8.1 R 8.8

Toe:
L 4 R 4


Rear:

Camber:
L -1.6 R -1.5

Toe:

L 13 R 15

Thrust angle: -.1

How does this sound. For some reason I want to go back and have him redo the rear so thats its perfectly aligned because you can actually tell by looking at the rear wheel that the left one is just sligtly more slanted. Should I leave it or go back. Also can someone please clarify this for me, CAN FRONT CASTER BE ALIGNED, even if its just a little bit.

By the way, I did the spring mount mod in the rear, and it really looks good. Will post pics tomorrow, there is no finger gap on the left and half a finger on the right, and I think its because of the extra camber on the left. But should io go back or is it fine. I know the front camber is off, but i am fine with it, just wondering if there is anything to do about the caster.

Sounds good, .1 deg difference in camber isn't too big of a deal, and unless it was a specialty alignment place they are just going to laugh at you if you ask them to do that adjustment. My drop also varies from left to right in the rear, but it has always done that, I think its just a weight distribution issues since I sit on the left side and my sub and amp both are on the left side, but its about the same as yours, 1/2 finger difference. Get some pics up ASAP

I definitely will. By the way redlude, the springmount mod was fairly easy to do thanx to oyur instructions. My mechanic did it with a machine, not sure which and then sanded it down just a bit to make it even. The cut was as straight as possible and i truly love the difference it made in looks. By the way, if anyone is interested in doing this in NYC let me know. He said he will do it for anyone at a decent price.

Yes, its super easy, and since they are rubber, it doesn't have to be perfectly even because the rubber deforms to the surface ensuring proper contact. Its a must do for z htechs along with the SPC rear, I'm glad others are finally following suit, and not living with the excessive rear gap

Haha, youre right, the gap without the mod would have been too much once I swithced off the rims. This literally made the drop perfect.

After I fixed up the back, the car seems to be handling really well, better than before. The pulling on the grooves is gone and the steering seems to be stiffer, what can this be. Wondering if caster is adjustable on our cars or not.
