Default alignment

Just put coilovers on the car. Went and got it aligned. Usually I have been the person to align it because I worked at a tire shop for a while, but usually I just try to toe and go unless the caster or camber is way outta whack, aka get the wheel straight and roll out. This time my buddy and I tried adjusting caster/camber/toe and getting everything dialed in right. After like an hour and a half of working on it, I still had -1.7*/-1.0* camber. 4.7*/3.6* caster and the toe was dead on.

I had my buddy sit in the car while we did it so we could get it set up with about my weight in the car. So does anyone else have troubles setting up alignments and getting them dang near perfect when lowering a car? I'm sure most of you guys can't really adjust it yourself, but to those that can, how do you get the camber/caster adjusted on stock bolts...it's dag on near impossible.

You might have to extend the slots (inward) for the front pivot bolts on the front LCAs.
