Default Alignment specs

Well, just got a front end alignment with my complete GSR suspension on (springs, shocks, the works, all GSR). Got a temp alignment so she's drivable until I pick up some appropriate springs.

Anyway, my camber is out 1°... but only on one side. :eh: I'll just drop the whole sheet here and hopefully you folks can edumacate me on what it all means.

Code:
Left Front

Actual  |  Before  |Specified  Range|
  1.0°       1.0°     -1.0°    1.0°        Camber
  1.4°       1.4°      0.2°    2.2°        Caster
  0.00°     -0.21°    -0.12°   0.12°       Toe


Right Front

Actual  |  Before  |Specified  Range|
  0.1°       0.0°     -1.0°    1.0°        Camber
  1.1°       1.1°      0.2°    2.2°        Caster
  0.00°     -0.25°    -0.12°   0.12°       Toe

Front

Actual  |  Before  |Specified  Range|
  0.9°       1.0°    ......   ......        Cross Camber
  0.3°       0.3°    ......   ......        Cross Caster
  0.00°     -0.47°    -0.24°   0.24°        Total Toe

WOW! You need some negative camber in the front Toe looks good, what about the rear?

GSR springs put the front end in serious rally mode. h:

I was just concerned about the 1 degree difference being a sign of potential bent suspension bits.

Code:
Left Rear

Actual  |  Before  |Specified  Range|
  -0.4°     -0.3°     -1.3°    0.7°    Camber
  0.14°     0.24°     0.04°    0.16°   Toe

Right Rear

Actual  |  Before  |Specified  Range|
  -0.6°     -0.6°     -1.3°    0.7°    Camber
  0.14°     0.13°     0.04°    0.16°   Toe

Rear

Actual  |  Before  |Specified  Range|
  0.28°     0.37°     0.08°    0.32°   Total Toe
  0.00°     0.05°     .....    .....   Thrust Angle

It's not a significant difference but you might feel the car pull to the right since that tire is flatter on the ground.

Looking pretty decent for a preliminary alignment.

Like others mentioned, you may want to get a little more negative camber going on.

And also, depending on what you use the car for (track, etc) you may want to consider getting those toe numbers up a little bit.
