Default Please help me with ALIGNMENT SPECS on lowered TT!! >>

Lowered substantially on coilovers and will be getting the rear adjustable lower control arms installed early next week.

Correct me if I am wrong... street driven but would like a somewhat aggressive set-up if there is such a thing..

-1.6 rear camber and 0 toe all around? What other numbers do i wanna make sure are around a certain amount? I can give them numbers and they will do exactly what i say (Al@CPT)...

Subframe etc? to make sure that is not messed up?

Thanks in advance.

Most say no - Tire wear is not impacted - so it's the 'go fast' setting ;-P

Default Stock is usually -1.8 to 2.0....>>

Depending on what day your car was built. Seems even the FWD (fixed) are coming in at over -2.0

Default I run -1.5F 1.6R camber, I was told to go for as much camber as you can get up front

in order to achive better handling, and I haven't had any tire wear problems in a year on summers (thru winter!)
