    I've started doing my own alignments and figured I'd make a spreadsheet to record the information instead of just keeping it in random notebooks. Cells should turn green if they are within spec and red if they are out of spec. If castor is between 2.4 and 4 it will turn orange. This is technically out of spec but I know many want higher castor numbers.

    Just click the link and go to "file" > "make a copy" and its all yours.

    Here is a good how to thread on how to do it. I will likely make my own video as I use some different tools but this will get you started.

    Wow, that looks great! Thanks for that. Mine is currently "aligned" but the shop I took it to didn't touch my SPC uppers so the lowers are all maxed out. I need to play with it myself.

    Having the SPC makes alignment that much easier to do on your own since the cams aren't needed to set camber anymore. My LCA are maxed to push the tire as far forward as possible and the SPC are in the neutral position. That's the castor I ended up with. Hoping to stop by a Firestone sometime to confirm since I bought the lifetime alignment 5 years ago.
