Default Got an Alignment today running Tein CS

I finally got my alignment done at the dealer today. I am running 19" Wheels with the Fat Setup with a conservative amount of drop. A little over 1 finger gap in the rear and 1.7 finger up front. After two attempts the tech was able to get all the adjustments within spec.

click on my pdf link to see my alignment from yesterday..

i just completed the last part of the daizen bushing upgrade .. i did the upper a arms on thursday.. i did the upgrade in steps to determine what made the most diff

when i removed the upper bushings they were in horrible shape .. the rubber surrounding the sleeve was sep from the sleeve it moved around by using my fingers.. it seems alignment wise the biggest help in getting my car to a acct level was after installing the upper arms


my camber was at a - 1.2 to -1.4 now its just a tick out of spec also my castor used to be way off now its within spec now keep in mind i am barely 1 finger gap if that up front with a broken finger in rear

Thanks for the bump speedie. I guess I finally was able to contribute something worth while.

driving wise the daizen upgrade to the castor/strut arm made the most diff but yet alignment wise doing the upper a arm bushings brought castor / sai and camber to just about within spec


on my pdf up above when i came in my camber was 1.4 then got it down to around -.9 which is acceptable seeing i am dropped about 2 + inches
