Cool Just got alignment, setting opinions....

Just got my T/A aligned today at the stealership...$57 and some change out the door

Settings in degrees: Total Toe: 0.0
Fr. toe partial: 0.0
Front camber: +.40
Caster: +4.8

Rear Thrust Angle: 0.0

Car runs good n' straight/tight

What's your opinions on their settings? Their caster and camber are different specs from what i've seen elsewhere on this sight, but I wasn't going to argue the point with the dealer service.

BTW, car is at stock WS9 height with stock WS6 17" wheels

thanks in advance

depends what you're doing with the car, for a daily driver it looks fine

camber is positive like factory, most people run some negative camber for the handling benefits but at the cost of increased tire wear (depending on driving style and amount of course). caster is good, more caster increases straight line stability, makes the steering a little heavier but I prefer that anyway. toe depends what you want, quick turn in or high speed stability, so 0 is nice and neutral.

Not bad, like creeper said, it's a good neutral setup. I always ran and will be once she gets back on the road a little more aggressive setup for corner carving. Little toe in if I remember correctly and negative camber.

I have a spec sheet with nominal values I got from Strano years ago for a good street/corner-carving setup. It's in my binder of paperwork for the car somewhere.
