I wanted to go get an alignment for my 93 hatch with tockico blues and eibach springs. I don't have a camber kit and I dont think I need one cause my car isn't to low. My question was, what specifications should I tell the mechanic to do it at? I know im gonna have to set my toe as close to zero as possible, but what about camber and all that other stuff? Do I just ask them to set the other stuff to factory specs?

 

Most places are not willing to set to your specifications, and will only set the different dimensions (camber, toe, caster) to within factory specs, for liability reasons AFAIK.
If they are willing to do it though, I think most people opt for a touch of negative camber front and rear, toe zero'd out (not close, zero).

 

Why 0 the toe out? i thought a little negative toe increased handling is that false?

Toe can also be used to alter a vehicle's handling traits. Increased toe-in will typically result in reduced oversteer, help steady the car and enhance high-speed stability. Increased toe-out will typically result in reduced understeer, helping free up the car, especially during initial turn-in while entering a corner.

I just want my tires to wear properly.

Here is a link if you need more info on that.

So all I need to do is get my toe set to zero on the front and rear and nothing else because that's the only adjustable thing on there. Right?

 

good stuff thanks for the link.
