why did they put so little caster? i would have run it up a lot more. camber numbers look good. sux for your tires but will be pretty good for handling.

i would have also done 0 toe front and rear.

yea fix that caster or the car will start to wander to the left a bit, but that might be offset by the high amount of positive camber on the right side. Better get those fixed.

Who adjusted the alignment, you or a shop?

A shop did it for me. They told me the negative camber wasn't to bad so they barely touched it. They said my toe before was way off. I was wondering shouldn't the caster be equal? I'm not to familiar with this stuff.

The "Lance Alignment" figures have worked very well for me. Link to the MKIV.com article here: lance alignment

Its a great reference piece.

Quick question:

Could i use the Lance specs verbatim, as they are written on the MKIV site? I was planning on getting an alignment done soon. I have stock 97+ wheels on 225/40/16 tires, stock ride height.

Yes, you can use them verbatim, they are an excellent neutral set up for the SC/MKIV. A great deal of MKIV.com info will apply to the SC.
