JSM SpecB alignment question

[Deaks2]

I bought and installed this suspension: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97452

 

Today, I brought it to my Scooby shop for an alignment. Here are the results:

 

0 deg toe all around

-0.18 deg front camber (max he could get)

6.3/6.0 deg front caster

-1.06/-1.24 deg rear camber

 

Is that the best I can expect when it comes to front camber? I understand that these springs drop the car the same as the STi Pinks.

 

Edit: LOL, I said JSM... Obviously I meant JDM

bump for feedback

You should be able to get far more on stock camber bolts, if indeed they drop like Pinks. -1 or so should be attainable.

[Deaks2]

That's what I figured. My goal was -1.5 deg front camber, -1 deg rear camber, with 0 toe all around. They said the rear camber is non-adjustable and therefore i am stuck with that -1.06/-1.24 deg rear camber.

 

What do you think?

[Deaks2]

The car will be back up on the rack this Friday. I'll report back then...

I just installed the same struts with swifts. Great set up. I am sure you will love them.

You need camber plates.

You need camber plates.

Front? Rear? Both?

[Guest]

Try different alignment shop first. You should not need camber plates for -0.8 to -1 deg camber in front.

 

Rear is not adjustalble without aftermarket adjustable lateral links.

Okay, so the car went back up on the rack yesterday.

 

0 deg toe all around

-1.0 deg camber front

-1.12 deg camber rear

6.36 and 6.06 deg front caster

 

So much for -0.18 deg front toe being "they best they can do"... The note from the tech says, had to undo bolts to zero and start from scratch. I was like wtf, this is what he should have done last week! Urgh...

 

Anyways, the car tracks nicely now on on-ramps Should I be worried about the caster being off from one side to the other?

[Guest]

The difference in caster is normal and in fact near perfect. Up to a degree of difference can be ignored.
