How's my Alignment Specs. Guru's please check in.
 

Just got an alignment today. I was wondering how they looked. If there could have been any improvements. I have 90 days if I am not satisfied for another one.

Got my 4 wheel alignment at Firestone in Redlands for $49.99 which I thought was a bomb deal. I also got to sit in my car during the alignment b/c I drive 90% of the time without a passenger. The car has Tein 350z H-techs with front and rear SPC chamber kit.

Heres the Coupon that i used for $20 off. Original price is $69.99 but the coupon helps a lot.

I would personally like the toe in the back to be 0, alos why is the caster out of spec on the front left?

The service tech said he could not control the caster too much. But do you think I should go back and get 0 toe? I think If he went 0 on the toe, the chamber was out of spec. I have no Toe Bolt.

How come the rear cambers are not the same ?

SPC's website says caster is adjustable +/- 1 degree

it looks like it must be done with those shims/spacers? That might be why the tech didn't want to do it - you have to remove the a arms to adjust... that's the bad thing about SPL too (but their adjustment is different, for the better).

I put on the SPL version 2 front cambers. They had to pull the arms off to adjust my caster. I am lowered on 350z and Coupe springs. The Tech aligned my G sedan to coupe spec's so I now have more aggressive alignment.

^^ Nice. I dont know whats up with my caster. Maybe i should go somewhere else. DO you guys feel like it's worth it?

this is good info cuz i'm about to get an alignment and my car is not lowered and my front tires are wearing bad in the front.. I thought i had a slick on the right inside of the tire

No. The alignment sets static toe, that is the toe when the vehicle is not moving. With those settings at speed the rear toe would be around zero.

Like most alignment shops, it looks like they got everything within spec without trying to match the specs from side-to-side. If you want a more precise alignment, find out where the autocrossers in your area go, but expect to pay more.
