Default alignment numbers?



so i went to a shop to align my car today and do you guys think that my front cambers are fine? its out of manufacturer's spec but if you guys were to do it, would you buy a camber kit and do it or just leave it as is?

Meh, that's nothing to really worry about...I'm assuming you're lowered. I'm sitting at 2.3 - 2.4 up front and still get 30k miles out of 300 treadwear BFGs with routine flipping of the tires.

You can flip??? My tires are only one direction and can't rotate any tires..

Front -> back OR have a tire shop swap your tires out to the other side.

I'm lowered on tein s-tech's, in spec for everything except rear passenger (-2.0)

You're running a square AWD setup (all four tires are the same), while I'm running a staggered setup (225s front/255s rear). So I'd only be able to swap side-to-side; and since I run a symmetric tire (same tread design across the entire tire surface) I'm able to dismount and remount tires on the opposite side wheel while maintaining the correct tire rotation.
