Alignment?
Ok, so lets talk about alignments.
I recently installed the pdaft poly mounts and had my car aligned. I will list the specs from the print out below.
What I am looking for is advise on changes, I have to take the car back because the steering wheel is off center to the left alot. I am looking for a good alignment that wont cause significant tire wear, but have good handling.
Anything seem too off? The guy doing the alignment stated that the Caster was a non tire wearing spec and that with the higher value would cause the car to be slightly harder to turn, giving it better high speed stability. Is that incorrect?

Rear Spec Range
Cross Camber 0.2 -0.5 0.5
Total Toe 0.16 -0.22 0.18
Thrust Angle -0.01 -0.10 0.10
