Mixed emotions about alignment.

Well I finally got my alignment done. It's been a month since i got my car lowered with z springs in the front and coupe springs in the back. I like the right side of my car, not too happy about the left. Do you guys think I'll be fine with just rotating the tires to avoid camber wear?

Coupe 6MT
Sorry man, those numbers look jacked up pretty bad... Thought about taking it back and having someone else look at it? A lot of those number aren't even in spec - seem to defeat the purpose of an alignment if you ask me.

I have to agree that even with how few changes you can do with the oem you should still be able to get closer than that.

Also tell them to set it to the specs for the Coupe, not a sedan since you're now riding a lower height.

I aligned mine to sedan specs, noticable camber as well. You would think if you told them Sedan specs, they would get it as close as possible to a straight tire so it doesn't make much difference whether it's Coupe or Sedan?

Camber is not adjustable on these cars. I'm a bit confused as to why his camber is nearly 2 degrees in the front. It sounds almost impossible unless something is bent.
