Why 0ish toe in the rear, sir?

 

To be honest, I'm not sure. I just gave them the camber specs I wanted since I'm running 17x9 +45 w/ 245/40 all around. The rest I told them just to use standard specs. I'd like to get it re-aligned sometime this year with some more informed specs, this was just so I didn't kill my fenders or tires.

 

Here are the US and UK specs for an AP1

Thats not a bad price on the mount and balance, a little steep on the alignment though. We charge 20 a tire to m&b, and 59.99 for alignment. Our cars are one of the easier to align I don't see why they charge so much for that. I'm wondering why both of you guy's caster is set where it is. Did you request this? And as far as the rear toe, both cars are within the tolerance range, the difference between .01 and .08 will not be felt. If you drive around the block and put the cars back on the machine the measurements will change more than this. Honestly though neither car is what I would call perfectly aligned. Both sides should match exactly. The specs are within tolerance, but the tech doing the job is not taking his time. We've done my personal car over a dozen times trying different alignment specs and its very easy to get the sides to match perfectly. For a hundred bucks I would want to see no deviation from side to side, and I would be questioning that front caster on both cars. I personally like my Camber at 1.7 front/2.7 rear with 0 front toe and .05 rear toe in. Caster at stock ap2US spec. Seems to work great for nonstaggered tires. Anyway i'm sure both cars drive a whole lot better.

 

I agree with Jap on the tech isn't taking his time on this job , for the price they're charging they should take their precious time. This is why I hate doing alignments on others cars. I'm to OCD when it comes to things like this I've spent hours on the alignment rack at work just for my car.

 

Just wanted to add i'm not bashing the job they did on your cars. Its probably a better alignment than you'll get at 99 percent of the shops out there. I'm just saying that for the price there charging perfection should be expected.

 

Kevin,

Do you happen to have the AP2 (MY 08) US specs?

I definitely would want more camber than -.3 in the front...jm2c.

 

When I was at PC the guy dialed it in +/- x.00. I don't know why you're out a little, although it shouldn't matter with that tiny amount. He wiggled the car on the lift every time he made an adjustment just to unbind the bushings. I was sitting against the wall watching though. He even told me I had a few thousandths play in my tie rods, which I did.
