Stock Alignment settings?

Does anyone have the camber / caster toe ect for the stock evo x suspension?

Im going to lower my car and want to know what to set it to. most alignment shops wont touch the car because its not in the computers yet.

A performance shop here will do the alignment if i can provide the stock settings.

search much?

front
-1* to -2* camber front (to get to -2* you need to swap the top strut bolt that has a dot of paint on it to where the paint is away from the strut)
0* toe

rear:
-1* camber
-.004* toe each side (so a touch of toe in)

You can go more aggressive if you want depending on your purposes and how you are lowering it.

Caster is not adjustable unless you get fancy caster/camber plates or you install your camber plates the wrong way.

What do you mean by "swap"? Are you swapping (removing and replacing) the bolt for something else? Or are you rotating the eccentric bolt to gain maximum negative camber, which is the typical way to adjust the camber on a macpherson strut?

That. Sorry for my lack of clarity.

Just to clarify, go to the top of the page, select search, then advanced search. Then type in alignment, then select "Evo X Tires, Wheels, Brakes & Suspension - Sponsored by The Tire Rack" as the forum to search in.

I find a few pages on topics regarding this. One in fact has almost the same title.

Not being a jerk, just trying to help you find more info in the future. There is so much info on here, it's overwhelming sometimes.

lmao i was being way to specfic in my searches i was looking for stock camber settings and completely different set of results comes up. i guess ill have to be more generic with my searches.

actually i think we should vote for a sticky on one of the treads if alot of people are looking for it.
