it looks like the machine is out of calibration. the thrust angle of 1.42* is like saying the rear axle turned to the right about 3/4". when you bring the car to my shop we'll verify that. then again you have the heads reversed and the rear heads on the front showing the tow not equal might be throwing the thrust angle number off. i do have cal fixture that i use to keep mine calibrated. is your G111 all electronic or do you have to string front to back connecting the sensors?

all electronic with optical front to rear
update to 04 specs

redid with the heads in right position
had to reset camber on front,right was
a little more than left.

I have the specs you posted(I think On GTO LS1 forum)
but maybe Im reading wrong because you show alot more camber than factory specs.
I set camber as close to zero as I could get.My buddy sets his auto cross cars up for a lot of neg camber.

the factory specs call for postive camber.

95-02 except 95-96 w/Goodyear Eagle RSA tire
camber 0.40* +/- 0.50*
caster 4.80* +/- 0.50*
total toe 0.00* +/- 0.20*

not necessarily good for outside tire wear.

Hijacked... that's great news! I finally removed those tires that were 'bald' last October about 3 weeks ago. Wires were sticking up from the inside edge on the rear as well as the rubber was starting to separate.
