Alignment specs.
hey guys,
Well I finally put my suspension on, and its been about a week and I think they've settled nicely and its time for an alignment I love the way it handles but I know after an alignment corners will be much more fun. But my question is what alignment specs. should I go with? Stock? I want a little more camber than stock so i dont know Im trying to stay away from the stock one and trying to go more aggresive with really fast tire wear. I hear a lot of people talking about how they have their car aligned to UK specifications, or a little more aggresivly. What exactly are the specs for the UK cause I think I may go with that. If you guys could post it or any other alignment spec, please and ill print it out and take it to the alignment tech. Again thank you.
Very much appreciated

What's the difference in handiling for the specifications between USDM & UK alignments?

Dylan, you have the UK alignment (or a little more aggresive i think) how fast are your tires wearing? Is it much faster than normal and are you using S-02's?

I'm about to replace my first set of rear S02's since getting the UK alignment, so I thought I'd resurrect this thread.
I got 17K miles out of my first set using the factory US alignment specs. That has dropped to 8K miles with the UK alignment. I'm not quite down to the wear bars, so I might have been able to squeeze another 1K out of them.
