Alignment after drop
Alignment after drop
Whell here are the specs after aligning the car this weekend. I have an 09 Sedan with 18x7.5 all around. I am lowered on Eibachs and have 20mm soacers all around.
Front
Camber -1.5 -1.5
Caster 4.9 5.0
Toe 0.06 0.05
Rear
Camber -2.2 -2.1
Toe 0.11 0.09
From what I was told, they couldn't push out the rears anymore.
What do you guys think?

Well, here are my numbers, post alignment. I do have an AWD so factor this in as necessary; don't know how much variation this accounts for by default.

Caster: 5.0
Toe: 0.07
Right Front
Camber: -1.2
Caster: 4.8
Toe: 0.06
Cross Camber: 0.1
Cross Caster: 0.2
Total Toe: 0.13
REAR
Left Rear
Camber: -2.1
Toe: 0.21
Right Rear
Camber: -2.1
Toe: 0.21
Total Toe: 0.42

No excess wear noted yet. I've been riding on this alignment for less than 400 miles.
I'm strongly considering getting the camber/toe kit for the rear.
I've been thinking about also.
I don't think I'll be doing it since I have a 3 year lease and included in my service is tire rotation. I cannot justify the cost of the arms, install and realignment over a set of tires that I will eventually need anyways as I get near the end of my lease.
Just my opinion.

but do you guys think I need to get rear camber/toe kit for the rear, given the numbers above? The toe range is 0.00-0.23, so my 0.21 and 0.22 are technically within spec, but clearly all the way at the highest end of the spectrum.
Camber range is -1.4 - 0.4, so my -2.1 is clearly out of spec. I am very concerned with tire wear, but I do hit the turns aggressively so some negative camber is good.
