well just got my alignment done and here's the spec.
FRONT
Left .................. :Right
-1.0 ... camber ... -3.1
7.5 ... caster ........ 8.7
.04 ... toe .......... .05
6.1 ... SAI .......... 5.8
5.1 ... Included angle ... 2.7
turning Angle diff.
REAR
Left ........... Left
-2.6 camber -2.3
.027 toe .12
what is up with the front right? the right-side drop (on tein basic) is the same as the left, same wheel gap and everything, but why the big difference?
can someone tell me if the rest is decent? anything i need to do?
i did this at firestone in garden grove and they did SH*T and charged me full price. I initially wanted to do an alighment check (which is $20) but the effort they took to get my car on the lift and what not (i had to take off my own bumper), but when i look at the sheet, the only thing they touch is the front toes. Not coming back there for sure.
has anyone heard of Vodies aligntment?
thanks in advance

your caster and angles can be adjusted if you take it to a shop that knows what they are doing. You will deffinatly need some camber kit for front and back, ASAP if you dong get one your tires are going to get raped, wich will coast you much more money then the camber.

Included angles should be that much different...good that SAI is almost same bilaterally. Prolly due to camber spread....
Camber is trashed...I'm hoping you have aftermarket camber adjustment I'm not familiar with them, but I am familiar with suspensions, and alignments.
DO the aftermarket front camber adjustments allow for caster adjustment? If so, it should be fixable.
If Car is lowered, this will cause the excessive camber, and thus alter toe settings. If you lowered it you need all the extra adjustable camber/toe parts that can be bought...to correct what you just ruined....

Rear camber is way too high also, and toe is totally off

yes car was purchase new, was hit once on the left front (would that mess up the right though?). tires are rear: 275/35/19 and fronts: 245/35/19...don't remember the offset for the RH R5.
