Tom how much finger gap do you have left with the espliers on there?
I want to say it's about a two finger gap, maybe less. You'll like the drop.

Standard alignment is like 70 bucks. I paid 87 or 89 or something because i had a "custom" alignment and that is charged by the hour.

I forgot what I paid for the mounting and balancing... I try to forget these costs otherwise I'd be distraught over how much money I spend on the car
90 for a custom alignment is not a bad price... where did you say you got this done at?

i don't remember exactly but it's similar to what i'm about to post..

Front:
camber -0.5
caster 6 deg
toe 0
total toe 0

Rear:
camber -1.5
toe 0deg 10"
total toe 0deg 20"


for the UK specs:

Front:
camber -1
caster 6 deg
toe 0deg 0"
total toe 0deg 0"

Rear:
camber -2
toe 0deg 20"
total toe 0deg 40"
These are not correct US specs. US specs are a range of specs, of which many folks believe to be too liberal. What is referred to as UK specs are "recommended" UK specs.

After seeing the change that my car went through, I dont think zaino is worth all of the extra hassle and pain...
Yes... it is. After the first time, it's smooth sailing.

yea cuz the alignment I got isn't 100% the "UK Specs"... it is close but the numbers don't match up 100%

Skip, what do you think I should go with..... Its my daily driver the US specs or Euro specs.... Im running P205/55WR-16 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S P225/50WR-16 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S. No one made a 245/45/16 for allseason, dunlop used to but Tirerack hadnt seen them in a while. I have little to no knowledge of alignment specs....
