Are these factory spec alignment settings correct?

Front:
Toe-in mm (in.): 0 +/- 2 ( 0 +/- 0.08)
Camber (Selectable from 2 options): -1deg +/- 30' or -2deg +/- 30' (left/right deviation within 30')
Caster: 3deg55' +/- 30' (left/right devitation within 30')

Rear:
Toe-in mm (in.): 3 +/- 2 (0.12 +/- 0.07)
Camber: -1deg +/- 30' (difference between right and left within 30')


I want to get my alignment checked by a shop closer to me and wanted to know what the "proper" settings are..

Thats why I originally stuck this thread in EVO General so it would get a lot more views and hopefully a response. Now it's buried..

Most people use the view new posts so it doesn't really matter what forum it's in.
I have the information but can't get to it now. IF you do a search though there are a few threads on the alignment that have all the settings.

I did a search and came up with theose figures I didn't really see any responses to confirm or deny them, that's why I started a new thread.

I'll be waiting for any info ya have though....thanks

Re: Are these factory spec alignment settings correct?

Yes they are the specs for the alignment as per Mitsu.
I think a lot of people are going for max negative camber which works out to -1.6. (what they have managed to get) in the front.
One of the Auto-X people can verify that or may have already in another post.

I'd suggest sticking with as close to 0 toe out front and rear for best performance.
