I know this is a topic asked alot and I just came accross the factory alignment specs so I thought I would post it in a thread that would be dedicated to the subject and would come up if anyone was searching for alignment specs. I know when I searched a bunch of threads came up and the info was in there somewhere but you really had to dig through to find what you are looking for.

Anyway for anyone intersted here they are.

Front Caster

Left = 4.92 +/- 0.50 / Right = 4.92 +/- 0.50

Cross caster = 0.00 +/- 0.50

Camber

Left = - 0.50 +/- 0.42 / Right = 0.50 +/- 0.42

Cross camber = 0.00 +/- 0.50

Total toe

0.15 +/- 0.04

Rear

Thrust angle 0.00 +/- 0.17

Thank you so much for posting this! I'll have to have these settings verified with my car when I have the extra cash for a good quality alignment.

For now, I'll just input these settings into my MCS on Gran Turismo 5. :D

 

im running h&r rss's and today i replaced my worn out front control arm bushing with some powerflex urethane bushings. i'm now looking for some insite as to alignment specs. i do multiple autocrosses a year and at least two track days. i want specs that are somewhere between full race and street. only mildly concerned about tire wear.
