Alignment specs or suggestions for lowered? Just picked up my z from storage today and threw it on the alignment rack since the toe was obviously off, i found that the settings i had years ago has changed drastically. Looking for what is working for you, have adjusted the toe only today.
camber -1.5 -1.4
caster 4.2 - 4.4
toe .01 - .01
thrust angle (adj via adjustable panhard rod?) .18
thx...

Thx for the links, will check it out.
Not sure what was the cause or how i got more neg. camber, initially had -1.0 on one side and -.8 on the other as that was all we could get, had a shop install the baer bump steer tie rod ends and changed the front struts years ago, even gave my print out sheet to get close to the same specs. I would think maybe as the tire wore down that it could increased neg camber readings. It would be interesing to put new tires on and see.
