Default my alignment specs - how do they look?

Hi,

I was hoping some suspension gurus could take a look at my alignment specs to see if they would suggest getting a camber kit either in the front or rear. I just would like to get the most life out of my tires as possible.

thanks in advance!

For tread life, for example, you could set the front camber to 0.0. But do you understand how settings such as this would effect handling.

It all looks to be with in spec. Shouldn't have any abnormal wear with that alignment. If you auto cross you could have more neg camber up front which would help with under steer.

The only thing I don't really like is your rear toe. There shouldn't be that much of a variance between the two sides. The camber in the rear is a tad high but you should be okay. I would just rotate the tires on a normal basis if possible for longest possible tire life.

Are you refering to the rear left? it does seem to be a little high. And i believe the rear toe is adjustable. would you recommend taking it back and have them adjust the rear left toe?

LOL. Superior handling and tread wear are a compromise. You cannot have both. See: http://www.turnfast.com/tech_handlin...ingtable.shtml.

look at the spec sheet the OP posted. It list the OEM specs for 18" wheels, this is about the only thing you're going to find. I know it is for an 05 but I would suspect 06 has the same specs.
