You think the dealer sucks? Listen to this...I'm sitting outside an alignment shop right now...I bring my evo in and he asks what I have done..I say swift springs and I get why did you put springs on a new car? Uhm looking for better handling and he goes and you think springs will do that?
Wow...

So it gets better I tell him I need -1.5 front and -1.0 rear and he goes toe? No! I want 0 toe and that's the camber specs..and he goes ok we'll see what we can do...

Oh god help me...my tires were getting eaten so I needed an alignment, I hope these guys get it right...

Do you add negative or positive toe for that? I had negative and it ate away the insides of my front tires so I got like .1 positive now, is it that big of a deal or should I go back and demand 0 lol.

bump for answer, i also had mine from negative and now I have .04 and .03 for the rear toe, is that anything I need to be concern about? OR should I bring it back and demand them to make it 0 toe for the rear.

Funny thing is I still havent gotten the alignment done yet. I havent really been driving the car because of the weather and all. Might have put on 500 miles since I last posted in here. Does anyone know of a reputable alignment shop in CT???

This conversation does not belong in advanced. You guys need to read up on basic handling theory and search.

Well, if the "advanced" ppl would help them out, this thread could RIP.

Why are you people doing negative or positive toe? Your going to eat your tires alive. Stick with adjusting the camber

Let's keep it simple. You want......

1 to 2 degrees of negative camber. (1 degree is plenty as per my converstion with a tech from Ingalls)

ZERO toe unless you don't mind changing your tires much more frequently.

and as much postive Castor possible.


That's it and Good Luck!
