Wheel alignment recommendations

Postby andy_mac » Tue Jun 23, 2015 9:25 am

Getting a wheel alignment done for the new wheels this weekend, does anyone have any particular recommendations for what to tell the tech.
Stock height. 18x8.5 +47 wheels with 235/40/18 rubber so aiming for some camber front and rear, rear with kca399 bushes, currently installed and set to pretty much the max based on the old eyeometer. 1.5degrees on all corners sound acceptable? Also have been told to get some toe in dialed in up front, any idea how much is needed? And anything else to consider?

I would keep the camber around -1.0deg if possible, I doubt any more will give a noticeable increase in grip.
Leave the toe at zero. I find that the B Spec Libertys turn in quite well so any gains from toe out is offset by increased tyre wear.
