Wheel Alignment Settings - what do you think?

[beeza]

This is why I align my car myself with string - because I get more accurate than a dodgey shop, and it costs me nothing.

PLEASE DO A DIY THREAD!!!

It would be soooo beneficial for EVERYBODY

lol so that's why your nickname is 'string' ?

anyways i had another alignment today done by ACE Tyres in Smithfield. They were recommended by some members and mentioned in some threads here.

They could not do 0 toes because my car is lowered and has 16" rims. The inner side of the tyres are already worn out as well. Putting it to 0 will speed up the wear. They said if my car was stock height and stock rims then 0 is appropriate.

So these are the settings they did. It's actually similar to what jeansey has (see previous page). They said it will help reduce wear on the inside and help balance the wear.

REAR (L/R)
Toe: +0.8 mm / +0.8 mm
Camber: -1°32' / -2°06'

FRONT (L/R)
Toe: +1.5 mm / +1.5 mm
Camber: 2°04' / -1°42'

There are two different set of opinions regarding toe!
I would recommend toe out in front and toe in for the rear. Of course you have to adjust the toe levels on the stock permitted range. Toe out in front gives you better handling in terms of faster and more agile turn in! If your set up is quite understeerish you will see some improvement! If you don't give excessive toe out in front you will not experience the negative effects of toe out in general, that is tyre wear and nervous steering at high speeds!
As for the rear i personally prefer slight toe in. If you can handle oversteer tends well, then try zero value.

Finally i wouldn't be so anxious regarding your camber figures! I have the same more or less. The front camber is ideal. The rear is a little bit out of stock range but it won't cause you any problems. I have 2.5 on the rear axle and i haven't experience any abnormal tyre wear. However if i could set it at about 0 it would be ideal for fast cornering, with the rear helping you to turn faster! However you can achieve that participation of the rear otherwise! So, if i were you i wouldn't bother!
