Speak with the manager. Explain why you are unhappy and what you expect them to do to make it right. If he will not help, make a note on the work order that you are not satisfied and pay by CC. Now you have the documentation you need to file a complaint.

Front
Camber -1.25
Toe 0.00

Rear
Camber -0.05
Toe IN 0.12
Total Rear Toe IN 0.24

You get some front inner shoulder tire wear with the -1.25, but not that bad. We kept rear negative camber to a minimum to decrease understeer and control rear inner shoulder tire wear. Enjoy.

Wow thank you! What differences should I look for?

The steering wheel will be much more on center. It will also be busier on certain pavement and when stopping. Turn in will be quicker. The car will feel a bit lighter. Other than that, not much ;-)

I would say! I didn't mention my staggered rear setup but I guess I did say wider tires in the back

The differences Pete noted will still be relative to how it feels now.

Does anyone have pics showing what bolts would have been loosened during an alignment for the rearend? Got an alignment done not too long ago and have had a vibration every since. Checked tires including put on another completely different set of wheels and tires and vibration is still there. The only thing I can think of is something is loose. Lesson learned on taking to that shop. Complaint is already filed, but didn't go anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unless you're shooting for some outrageous "look", it's better to spec your alignment settings for the way you drive than for how much you lowered it. Way better.

Somewhere in this section there are tables with a number of suggested settings. Some by JusticePete, and others by Pfadt, IIRC.

Edit - I found Pete's numbers. Use them as a guide and feel free to use slightly different numbers if you think your driving falls above or below the "enthusiasm level" suggested by the column headings.

Thanks norm. I just put the 1in springs in there just for reference bcuz that's all that's done on suspension other than trailing arms and toe rods. I plan on adding sway bars in the near future. I'm just having issues with my alignment as of now. Basically the car feels like I'm on a boat. It's moving from side to side a little bit while driving especially while going over bumps on the road. I drive pretty aggressive sometimes so I guess I'll just go with the fe3 aggressive street. Do you agree? Thanks again norm
