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.

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.

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

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.
