Is this an acceptable alignment??
My friends and I installed my coils last tuesday or wed. And I brought it to delta world tire to have it aligned. Here is the Before and After specs

Before


After



he said the front left wheel was Okay and he could not get it pulled out anymore from his experience and I WILL be ok and not have any abnormal tire wear. Is this correct?

I'm assuming you didn't go very low? Unless you have camber arms, that is a great alignment sheet for a lowered car. You will have some minimal inner tire wear, because that is how the car is designed and what the stock specs are set to. But it won't be drastically worse than stock.

Post pics of your ride and measurements on your drop. Interested...

You may have slightly more tire wear than stock, but just barely; most likely you won't notice it.

Any reason he left a slight toe-in on the front?

Because front tires have a tendency to toe-out while driving.
A slight toe-in results in zero toe at speed.



I would be more concerned over the excessive rear toe-in.

Nominal toe in setting for the front is 0.04° and the rear is 0.12° according to the FSM. He adjusted the front almost dead on spec and probably got the rear as close as he could.

Is this something you can elaborate on? What aspect of the suspension geometry contributes to this?

(Interested in the technical aspects out of curiosity).

Tires scrubbing on road cause toe-out while driving.

Toe-in used to be more before radials became standard.

The opposite applies to FWD cars, the front drive wheels cause toe-in during acceleration.

My only question is why your left front increased a point of negative camber after?
Before: -1.1
After: -1.2 ?

I would guess that happened when they straightened the toe?
