Default For those with Coilovers ?? about alignment

How much is your R lowered from stock and....

What are your alignment numbers toe, total toe, caster, camber, thrust angle etc..

For all that's relevent Frt & Rr.

Also, if the camber is off more on one side than the other and you use a camber kit to "even it out" would your thrust angle be off?

i would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance guys

I had tein HA installed not too long ago on my GSR. They are at the lowest setting. Preety low. About the same as Mike K's car on his present post. I had the car aligned yesterday. They were not able to get the specs i was hoping for, but here is what they came up with.

front left
camber; -1.79
caster: 0.36
toe' 0,11 in.

front right
camber; -2.37
caster; 0.79
toe; 0.12 in.

left rear
camber; -1.80
toe; 0.06 in

right rear
camber; -1.7
toe; 0.03 in

front
cross camber; 0.61
total toe; 0.22 in.

rear
cross camber; -0.3
total toe; 0.10 in
thrust angle; 0.03

I think i am going to get a camberkit, and perhaps raise it a bit also.
I do not totaly understand all the numbers, but.....

Since we are on the subject.....I have had my N-1's for a while now and I had a Ingall's camber kit on the front. It seems after I got the kit put on, the upper control arms were hitting under the fender. I could not tell it was doing this though.
My car is not low at all. I can get about two fingers in between the tires and the fender. I noticed this when I opened mt hood after washing my car one day and noticed by where the shock comes out the top that the paint was flaking off. It looks like there is something pushing up from the bottom. I didn't notice this until after I got the camber kit. Is it possible that my car was to low at the time (I since then raised it up) and when they adjusted the camber, it pulled the upper control arm out more and caused it to hit it? Anyone else have this problem?

Has anyone done an alignment after installing Mugen Lowdowns (0.75" drop)?

my car is lowered about 1.5" below stock.

i don't remember my toe and castor, but i believe that they're within spec.

my camber is about -2.1 degrees in the front and about -2.0 in the rear. i had a pretty decent alignment done and my tires are wearing fairly well.

yes. for street setup you can get stock numbers for everything except the camber. stock i believe is -1 and with the lowdowns you can only get -1.5 degree. this is with 16" wheels.
