Which AST's did you get? I am thinking of replacing my DA Koni's with AST's.

Yea Camber and toe are connected together at the rear. Make sure that is square before any track use.

Thanks so much this may put a very large monkey wrench into my track plans for this S. With my luck concerning this car.. i bet i won't be able to do anything about it.

Maybe in 5-6 years i can look for a 100% dedicated track car (not nec. an S). and keep this S for other stuff if its safe for the road.

Ptuning will not be working on my car again. In retrospect, everyone who works there looks like they are 19 and they all seem to drive Scions. Why i didn't take that as a warning sign in the first place i do not know.

I need to find a good shop.

John, I will email you.

Car could not get any less negative camber than -2.19 LR and -2.21 RR. the LR was as positive as it would go. Right rear was as negative as it could go to get as close to the LR as possible.. so.. i couldn't GET TO THE UK SPEC!! haha

I'm much happier than what i was previously. the car is good. specs:

Front:
Castor____L________R
_________6.1_____6.06
Camber
_______-1.03____-1.01
Toe
________-.02_____-.01

Rear:

Camber:___L________R
________-2.19___ -2.21
Toe
_________.41______.38


A month or so after the dragon (i need to pay off my CC right now) i'll get SPC joints in the rear so i can get better tire wear until the car becomes more of a track car.

Those are fine numbers, more camber up front would be better like 1.5

Back the rear back to 2.0 and I bet the toe can be reset,

Maybe zero toe up front vs toe out even a C%$t hair of toe in, this aint no subie

yeah i'm much happier than i was before. When i get the SPC joints in the back i'll back the rear to 2.0 and have the toe hopefully reset. camber up front can be changed very easily thanks to the SPC. i knew i should have just opted for the SPC on all four corners when i originally bought them... saving money then just cost me more as it took them an extra hour to adjust the effer haha.

thanks for all the help!!!! i wanted 0 toe up, but for now seeing how i'll need to get another alignment in a little while due to new spc's in the rear, i'm happy with where its at

there is a slight snapping noise every once in a while (happened 3 times on a 50 minute ride home... almost randomly) i think its just my car ing me

That is some messed up s**t right there. I can't even wrap my mind around those numbers. Either the shop screwed up on one side or your car is really freakin bent. You can track no problem with the numbers you ended up with though so come on out.

Gilly_S2KFreak

my frame is most likely bent rob i'll be talking to Billman at the dragon about it. I may be brining my car up to him in LI for a good 1 billion point inspection
