Front:

Camber - 0.5 degrees +/- 0.75
Caster +3.5 +/- 0.75 degrees
Toe 0.00 +/- 0.080" (2 mm)

Rear:

Camber -1.50 +/- 0.75
Toe in (total) 0.120" (3mm) +/- 0.080" (2mm)

I use the 'Lance W' alignment and have done for a few years, I prefer it over stock but things like this can vary from driver to driver:

Some people are more interested in big wheels and fancy bumpers I'm afraid ;)

if only . but i stay in scotland , where no one seems to know what i am even talking about. they think a basic front wheel alignment is a full geometry set up.

A lot of people seem to think that. They're like "it only cost me £20 at ATS!". hmmm. :)

More like £170 - 200!

I shall be getting this done to these settings on saturday.

Question: Do I simply print out these settings and hand them over to the guy and he does the rest? Or as to some previous threads, they might be able to set it to MY settings, they might just go by the Supra Spec settings.....

any suggestions / hints?

i took mine to Chris Wilson when i lived in Inverness and AlanM takes his there when he's a good three quarters of an hour passed there!

imi, just take the spec you want along and they should be able to sort it to that. They will have the standard ones on file if they are half decent so should be able to see what needs doing.
