Alignment Help
I just got back from doing an alignment and here are my specs. I'm not an expert but something still feels a little bit off. My steering is still off center and pulls to the right...I've read that this is a safety feature? If I'm planning to track the car this season, are these specs acceptable? The mechanics recommended that I go with an aftermarket kit (SPC?) if I want to dial it in perfectly.

Should be able to balance that rear camber better than that, hopefully around -1.5 all around would be better in back. Is it always pulling to the right? Most roadways are angled downward from the center out and in that case your car will drift to the right.
Having steering off center should be an easy correction w/ your tie rods. Might want to try another shop perhaps.
What are you lowered on and how much drop?

After trying to drive it on the highway, the car wants to kick the rear out and the steering wheel is tilted to the right about 15° to make it drive straight. I dropped it off at the shop again to have them look at it again and redo the alignment.
Is there a DIY for correcting the steering wheel with tie rods?
I'm on stock suspension and not lowered/dropped. If they can't pinpoint the issue, I'll have to limp it to another shop. Any suggestions for suspension experts in NJ?

The shop realigned the car and the steering is tolerable now. However, it looks like my front camber specs are way out of wack and the rear left camber arm should also be replaced. Does anyone have suggestions? I'm deciding between SPC and Voodoo13 front upper control arms (SPL is out of price range) and might just go with OEM in the rear since I'm not looking for a drop or excessive negative camber.

I wanted to hit the track with stock suspension as a baseline, but with recent events there's little reason to buy another OEM suspension setup only to upgrade in the near future.
