Default Read My Alignment Sheet:)

I don't know much about alignemnt specs. I had my stock wheels for 29k miles and no alignment..then i put spacers on..then I dropped it with tanabe GF210's...then i got new rims..then finally a new alignment. for those of you who know how to read this...whas my alignment really bad before? Is it within spec now? cause many asked right after i dropped it if it can be returned back to stock aligment without camber kits and stuff..thanks

You are out of specs on alot of the perameters, but IMO not out by too much to alarm you, with a possible exception to your rear negative camber. It is pretty far off of where I would want to be. IMO, I would just recomend some rear camber arms to correct this issue, or just do both front and rear, depends on your budget, goals, and tire life expectations.

Just an FYI, an eibach/SPC rear camber kit with toe bolts can be had for ~$150. Cheap IMO compared to the increased tire wear you'll see

The oem wide range is to reduce initial warranty claims! Ideally one wants to be EXACTLY at the mid point of range............anything else is inferior.

When you buy a new car before delivery always insist upon an alignment print out [while you observe] to make sure your car actually was built and transported to meet spec!
