Default Alignment gurus come on in.

<a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g78/speedracr99/?action=view&current=Alignment2008.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g78/speedracr99/Alignment2008.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

So I got my car aligned today. Since I know nothing about alignments I figured I would post up. The guy said that he had concerns regarding my rear toe. The drivers side in general. Does it look like I need to get a 1/2 set of Kmacs also? I already have CPT control arms.

Default You call that an alignment?????

I HOPE that's not the After. I'd be concerned with everything on there. Red and gray areas are OUT OF SPEC and they did nothing to try to get it into spec if these are your final results.. Numbers should be the same side to side. Has this car been in an accident?

First, on the front you have a subframe that is not centered. Center it and bring camber to -.08.

Set toe to Zero, NOT toe out.

On the rear, yes you do need something back there. Since you have CPT arms, he obviously didn't have a clue on how to adjust them or the toe..Are they on the bottom where they should be??
Bring camber to -1.6 to -1.8 using the CPTs and toe to spec using the slotted trailing arm adjustments..

I hope you didn't pay for this. One of the poorest "after" results I've ever seen. Take it to someone who knows how to align this car. (or kiss your tires goodbye)<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1653646.phtml">Some good numbers here...</a></li></ul>

Default That says "Before Measurements", which I hope to God it is. If those are AFTER alignment, you

best get your money back and look for someone that has used a wrench before!

Default Damnit....

For some reason when I copied it at work into a jpeg it only copied the first half which is before the alignment. I just realized it. When i get to work tomorrow I will copy the whole page which includes the after.

FAIL!

Default Holy crap man. Find a new alignment place. >>

The least of your worries is the rear toe.
