Default getting an alignment

I'm getting my first alignment tomorrow and i dont' know what to tell the dealership. Do i tell them to align it to spec or align back to stock? or is there a better alignment? Search wasn't really giving me what i needed. Can you guys help me out? thanks a mill!

Use the "UK alignment specs." The camber is -1.0 F/ -2.0 R. Not suure of the toe settings-I am sure you will find them from a search.

Yes the UK spec is more fun, but you also get more tire wear.

What's the difference between US and UK specs?


Thanks,

Bryan

Look here https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...&threadid=44573 for some good info. Personally I went with the UK alignment specs on my MY 2001 and have been pleased with the results for over a year now.

It's important that the alignment shop set your tire pressure to whatever you're using before the alignment (32f 32r). If you're really picky try and let them have you sit in the car while the alignment is performed. If nothing else you can put a couple of bags of sand in the driver's seat to simulate your body weight during the alignment.
