Default Just put on Grond Controls

I just put on a set of Ground Controls and took my car to get an alignment. Turns out I am at -1 degree of camber all around. How long do you think the inside of my tires will take to wear?

Money. I was debating raising the car up until I get the cash for the camber kit.

-1 degree all around isn't bad at all. Hell, I think that's within the factory range for the rears - or maybe it's the fronts, I forget.

But anyway, yeah - as long as your toe is zeroed out, I doubt you'll notice any uneven wear.

Thanks thats the answer I was looking for. Looking at the the factory spec is -1.0 - +1.0 for the fronts and -1.8 to .3 in the rear. I am at -1.0 in the front and -1.2 in the rear, with about .02 degrees of toe all around.

Yeah, I think I've got more camber than that w/ my H&R sports, and as long as I keep the toe in check there's no problem at all.

I am thinking about getting a Alinment done on my 97 Sh. How much do they USUALLY charge around. Around what ballpark?

Default Re: Just put on Grond Controls (Type-SHH)

4-wheel computerized alignment from a typical place is $40-60. If you've installed camber kits that you want them to set up they sometimes charge more.

A Type-SH super-whammy job w/ the whole ATTS alignment procedure from a dealer will be at least $100 - but it's not necessary unless you're having problems with it.
