Got my alignment done.

Got my alignment done.
OK well took my car to get an alignment and told them to put in the exact specs as the UK alignment specs. This is what I got out of it. Seem to be very different than the UK alignment specs. I am not familiar at all with alignment numbers so someone please let me know how screwed up these numbers are. They told me that they couldn't adjust certain adjusters for the front left side since the camber was not brought into spec.
Sorry for the bad number setup, my scanner stopped working.
Front left:
Camber--Actual -1.1 Deg Before -0.7 Deg.
Caster Actual 5.1 Deg Before 5.4 Deg.
Toe Actual -0.01 in. Before -0.03 in.
Front right:
Camber Actual -0.2 Deg Before -0.2 Deg
Caster Actual 5.5 Deg Before 5.6 deg.
Toe Actual -0.01 in. Before -0.16 in.
Rear left:
Camber Actual -1.5 Deg Before -1.4 Deg.
Toe Actual 0.22 in Before 0.21in
Rear right:
Camber Actual -1.4 Deg Before -1.4 Deg
Toe Actual 0.17in Before0.15in
Total Toe thrust angle rear
Total Toe Actual 0.39in Before 0.36in
Front:
Cross Camber Actual -0.9 Deg Before -0.5 Deg
Cross Caster Actual -0.4 Deg Before -0.2 Deg
Total Toe Actual -0.01in Before -0.19in

Yeah on the way home today it started to kinda shake it felt like, coming from the front of the car. I'm sure they screwed something up.
Anyone know of a good alignment place located in northern NJ or Rockland or Orange County NY?

Caster is not adjustable? Again not familiar with alignment, but that is what they told me.
The guy kept telling me that when they would adjust one setting it would make another one change and there was nothing they could do about it.

This is the place allot of us members have gone to and have nothing but good things to say about it
There is a tire shop on route 17 south bound in near Ridgewood NJ but I can't remember the name of it ? You can't miss it though its right on 17
BTW: If you had the UK setup done right you would feel the difference immediately upon driving the car just be prepared for faster tire wear in case you didn't already know
Also if your lowered you may not be able to set your car up for the UK alignment the specs are for stock suspension and ride height

I will try to find that place on 17. How far down is it coming from NY down on 17 south? Or is it on 17 north?

to be honest you'll probably get about half the life of the tire because of the aggressive
setup your tires will wear on the inner portion before the rest of the tire its a small price to pay for the improved handling but if you don't want to be buying tires twice as often as you do know I would suggest to you NOT to do it
and in case you missed my edit on the last post if your not stock suspension and or ride height you may not be able to setup your alignment that way anyway it the spec where designed for stock
