I am getting ready to take my gsr down to get an alignment. I just lowered it with Koni yellows and ground controls. I also installed upper control arms,rear lower arms and rear camber kit. To me it looks like the rear tires are toed way in. It might just be an optical illusion. Do they make rear toe kits for the rear or just the camber kits, which I already have? I lowered the front to just alittle above the tire and the same to the rear.

 

ask the tech to make your alignment something like this

front -.05 toe out
rear +.05 toe in

i would adjust camber yourself....save money and you can adjust it to your likings. Just dont make it very negative(slanted). -2 camber max, but i prefer less for saving my tire wear.
here are my settings...i adjusted camber myself and ask the tech to toe the way it is you see below. car is rock solid in straights and handles very predictably on turns.

bump cause i just installed the same setup, koni/gc (650f/525r) w/ gc extended top hats, skunk2 uca, skunk2 rear camber kit, darn thing feels good but i need an alignment as well

 

i run right about the same. if you want to tame down tire wear you could run as little as -.02 in the front you just give up a smidge of turn in.

basic rules are always keep some toe in out back and always have some toe out up front. the cars just respond well to being setup like this.

i also suggest resisting the urge to set the front at zero, it really kills turn in and makes you feel like you're driving crosseyed. just a little out like .02 or .03 helps substantially.

if you guys have a firestone near by spend the $150 on a lifetime alignment and call it a day. as you swap tires and combos it's the cheap way to go

also note you should have the car aligned with you sitting in it

 

Firestone was absolutly no help to me. They said because it was lowered they couldnt touch it. All they can do it return it to manufaucture specs which require original ride height. Treated me bad like I was a criminal for lowering my car. They also told me one of my tie rods was broken. False again. Ammco was great though.

 

find a new firestone. every one i've been to has had no problem setting alignment to what i tell them. they just tell me they're not responsible for any extra wear it might cause.

 

Just got back from alignment . I went with the lifetime. Numbers are as followed:
Front camber-
Driver- -1.1
Passenger- -1.1
Front toe-
Driver- 0.05
Passenger- 0.10
Rear camber
Driver- -0.3
Pass- -0.9
rear toe
Driver- 0.05
Pass- 0.10

Front camber was all the way out. Plus have to run negative to tuck the wheels

 

really not a good job on the toe. if that's with you in the car it's really off, if that's with you out of the car it's guessing and going -.10 is going to nail the inside edge pretty good

 

String align it. Both rear camber and toe kits are available.

 

that doesn't look all that great. cars tend to toe in at the drive wheels when accelerating, so you want a little more toe out in the front than in the back.
also, because of the angle of the road, a little more neg camber on the passenger than the drivers
