Suspension Factory camber and toe settings - anyone know?
Factory camber and toe settings - anyone know?
What are the ranges of the factory specified front and rear settings for both camber and toe (out or in) for an R56 with factory sport suspension?
And, if those factory settings are specified in degrees, what's their equivalent in fractions of an inch (or the formula to convert them)?
Thanks.

Faxed to me from a dealer.
"Wheel Alignment R56 Sports suspension, not low-slung"
Front Axle:
Total toe: 0 deg. 12' plus or minus 5'
Camber: -30' plus or minus 25'
Rear Axle:
Total toe: 0 deg. 24' plus or minus 08'
Camber: 1 deg. 45' plus or minus 20'

Thanks for the info., above, but the technical shorthand is a bit beyond me.
1. For front axle camber, what's the "deg. #" that comes before the plus and minus info.?
2. Do the apostrophes after the various numbers represent "degrees?"
3. Would it be correct to also state the front total toe as ranging from .12 degrees in to .05 degrees out?
4. Would it be correct to also state the rear camber as ranging from positive
4.5 to negative 2.0?
Thanks, again.
Translation. Angles are measured in degrees, minutes and seconds. 1 degree = 60 minutes and 1 minute = 60 seconds. minutes are designated with a ' and seconds are designated with a ".
The factory spec you mentioned for the front (-30') is -.5 deg. with a range of just under -1 to just over 0 (in a negative direction. (The rear is roughly -1.75 to -1.5)
