I've done a thorough search and I really cannot find the factory alignment specs for the GS430. Could someone kindly post or type the proper specs for the GS430. If these specs have been posted, kindly point me to the direction of that particular thread. Thanks!

 

front camber, + .8 to - .8
rear camber, + 1.3 to -1.3

 

-1.3 degree is within spec??? isn't that pretty bad wear? right now my rear is -2degrees, and it's killing my tires.

 

Does anyone have toe numbers? And has anyone changed the toe to see what would happen to the steering stability and turn in etc--?

I notice the NSX uses toe out (small) to give high speed stability and quicker turn-in. And they have high tire wear.

Any thoughts???

 

i just got my car aligned and here are the specs from the computer (98 gs400):

FRONT
camber: 0.2 to -0.8
caster: 8.1 to 7.1
toe: -0.03 to 0.18

REAR
camber: -0.3 to -1.3
toe: -0.03 to 0.17

i had mine all aligned to within spec except the front camber which i have at a more aggressive -1.0 for turn-in.

edit: oops i see you have a gs430. well i suppose they might be the same. ill leave the numbers up anyway.

 

cool, this is good info im installing apex'i ws coilovers

Thanks for the numbers. Does anyone have confirmation that the 98-01 's are the same? Maybe a change in 01 as that's when they got rid of the vibration problem.

Has anyone "played" with different settings?
