    Then you should stick to the stock settings that the tyre place will use based on a database of car models. That is the safest. Otherwise, you can read this first to get an idea: http://www.familycar.com/Alignment.htm. The advanced section in the bottom half of that page has good info.

    In the front, there is camber, toe and caster.
    In the rear, there is camber and toe.

    Camber and caster is measured in degrees and toe in millimeters. The tyre shop should use a laser wheel alignment system which tells them the amount of each setting as they adjust the suspension components. On most cars camber and caster are not adjustable without the use of aftermarket control arms or A-arms.

    I've got the skunk2 camber kit for the front and rear on my eg. How much does it usually cost for a full alignment on all four?

    If i get them to use stock setting then wont the put my Camber setup back to 0? i want to keep my camber setup as it is. just get it dialed in on all 4

    Let the tyre place know that you have adjustable front and rear camber kits. They can adjust the rear with no problems, but the front can be a challenge if there is not enough space to get to the bolts holding down the A-arm ball joint. Otherwise, if you are happy with the current camber settings, tell them that you want to keep the current camber, but just want to make sure that they are even for left and right sides.

    Tell them what setting you want beforehand and they won't set your camber back to 0.

    Well not really. I needed to do all of this anyways but i wanted to rule out all options so i purchased every bushing on the car and replaced them to my sure i was 100% it wasnt that. In doing it i found my two rear Trailing arm bushings were a little soft and worn and my front right lower LCA was stuffed completely plus the two front LCA bushings where it bolt onto the coilovers at the bottom were also a little worn out. So the pulling to the left is now sorted which had to be the LCA's, trailing arms etc. Now i just need to get a nice wheel alightment and i should be set for a perfect Track ride.
