    Agree on the tires, but gonna have to wait until these wear out. Can't justify the new rims and tires while these still have 90% on them.

    Does anyone think it's worth getting this thing re-aligned again? It's in spec on the camber, but I assume barely. I don't know the actual specs. Does anyone know where I can find the specs? Looking at my before and after numbers, the camber got worse.

    Before and after the alignment:

    Before:
    Camber: 1.09, 1.09
    Caster: 3.84, 3.01
    Toe: 0.23, 0.28

    After:
    Camber: 1.23, 1.11
    Caster: 2.47, 2.38
    Toe: 0.01, 0.02

    It seems like they adjusted the caster and toe and just left the camber since it was in spec.

    ICON recommended that the caster be right on the high side of the spec if possible. I have a friend with a BMW/Merc shop that do the alignment and get whatever numbers I want. What do you guys think?

    You want close to 0 degrees camber. As close to 3 degrees caster as you can get. Forget about "specs". They apply to factory geometry.

    Don't worry, you'll be replacing those tires soon enough with that alignment.

    Well, looks like I'll be getting it aligned again. I'll just go to my buddy's shop where I can get the numbers that I want. Took it to the Firestone shop where I have a lifetime alignment, but I guess they don't know about working with the aftermarket suspension.
