Default 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?


Front Left Spec range
Camber -0.6 -1.2 -0.2
Caster 8.4 6.4 7.4
Toe 0.03 -0.06 0.14

Front Right
Camber -0.6 -1.2 -0.2
Caster 8.2 6.4 7.4
Toe 0.04 -0.06 0.14

Front Spec Range
Cross Camber -0.0 -0.5 0.5
Cross Caster 0.2 -0.5 0.5
Total Toe 0.07 -0.12 0.28


Rear Left Spec Range
Camber -0.7 -1.2 -0.2
Toe 0.07 -0.11 0.09

Rear Right Spec Range
Camber -0.9 -1.2 -0.2
Toe 0.09 -0.11 0.09

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

Post in the autocross / road racing forum, you will get a more legit opinion there.

I thought of that, but I didnt want an autocross alignment. So I thought I'd put it up in here first.

The OEM Z06 alignment specs should meet your needs.
