Quick (hopefully) question about alignment conversions
In my endless searching I've found this:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=339164
but the thread is so old that the links and graphs no longer exist.
I'm getting my car aligned at the shop tomorrow, and the guy is willing to set the toe to my specs instead of factory's (1/8"out front 1/16"in rear) but his alignment machine measures toe in degrees, not inches.
Is there a simple way to convert my specs into degrees for him to set the car to? the thread that I posted above suggests degrees are dependent on wheel / tire diameter.... I'm running 205-50/15 Azenis.
Hopefully someone knowledgeable is up late tonight (or early tomorrow morning) and can answer this for me before I take my car to them in the morning.
Also, I found a lot of posts about camber and toe, but hardly anything on caster. any recommendations for caster for auto-x? (88CRX, GCs 400f 450r, Koni yellows, ST rear bar, Si front bar) or can they even adjust caster on CRX's?

The last time I set foot in a classroom was in 1988, we didn't have sines and tangents way back then

Well, NM then... the shop CAN'T align my car because the Laser they use can't get a reading because I have too much negative camber. Looks like I'm setting myself up a "string" toe gauge and doing it myself.
